Here is a bit more description of the details and importance of their incredible study:

The imagery is an example of the kind of data that SDO provides to scientists. By watching the sun in different wavelengths – and therefore different temperatures – scientists can watch how material courses through the corona, which holds clues to what causes eruptions on the sun, what heats the sun’s atmosphere up to 1,000 times hotter than its surface, and why the sun’s magnetic fields are constantly on the move.

The sun has been the center of calendars and astronomical studies since the beginning of time at the center of our solar system.  We don’t actually study it enough given its central importance in the daily lives of all organisms on this planet.  Even in respects to global warming debates, the sun and its changes need to be taken into account.

We hope you enjoy this truly inspiring and beautiful video.

thanks to NASA for the awesome study and video
