NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has assembled a half hour compilation of solar videos from the Solar Dynamics Observatory... by clicking on the little gear symbol under the screen, you can watch at full 2160p resolution, should your monitor be capable of handling it. If not, you can settle for 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p or 360p. Choose the highest resolution possible for your computer/monitor and choose to expand the screen to Theater Mode or Full Screen by clicking on the boxes at the lower right of your screen.

It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view of the grand forces of the solar system....
