Hasta La Motion!

Edited time lapse sequences of the sun’s atmosphere observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft between 2011 and 2015. Music: Una by Murcof Taken form the Album Utopía (2004) | CD: BAY38 CD, Digital: BAY38 E http://www.theleaflabel.com/en/releases/view/98/murcof/utopia Images courtesy of: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Scientific Visualization Studio www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard | http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov Editing: Michael König | http://www.koenigm.com Additionally EARTH is now provided in Full HD: https://vimeo.com/32001208 This montage features excerpts of 4K full-disk pictures in extreme ultraviolet channels, mainly using wavelengths of 30.4 nm (50,000 Kelvin) partially in combination with 17.1 nm (6.3×105 Kelvin), and offers a glance at spicules, solar flares, filaments and an overview of the sun’s atmosphere. The footage was captured by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) maintained by the Joint Science Operations Center (Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory in collaboration with Stanford University) Scenes in order of appearance: 1.
