Nasa Svs Plasma Dance On The Sun Dancing on the limb may 1, 2023. solar dynamics observatory (sdo) operates in a geosynchronous orbit around earth to obtain a continuous view of the sun. the particular instrument in this visualization records imagery in the ultraviolet portion of the spectrum at wavelengths normally absorbed by earth's atmosphere so we need to observe them. The "wall of plasma" feature matches a single wavelength view of solar flares observed by nasa as part of its sdo data from may 20, 2024, which frazier sent in a screenshot below: on may 20, 2024. Nasa’s solar dynamics observatory (sdo) stares at our sun in high definition from space. under the spacecraft's constant gaze the sun's invisible magnetic field betrays its presence by bending charged gas, or plasma, into entrancing patterns. in february 2012, sdo captured curious images in which plasma near the sun’s surface appears to swirl like debris in a tornado. but was the plasma. On july 19, 2012, million degree plasma in the sun's atmosphere began to cool and fall to the surface, resulting in a dazzling magnetic display known as coronal rain. because the plasma is charged, it's strongly influenced by the sun's magnetic field. as it rained down, it condensed along twisted magnetic field lines close to the surface and formed giant streaming arcs, some as tall as five.

Nasa’s solar dynamics observatory captured imagery of an x9.0 solar flare – as seen in the bright flash in the center – on oct. 03, 2024. the still and video show 131 angstrom extreme ultraviolet light which highlights the extremely hot plasma of the flare. credit: nasa sdo. Sdo: year 6. february 12, 2016. this ultra high definition (3840x2160) video shows the sun in the 171 angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light. it covers a time period of january 2, 2015 to january 28, 2016 at a cadence of one frame every hour, or 24 frames per day.
