Recently NASA Released New Dramatic Photos Of The Sun and a video send of Earth’s closest star Sun’s, taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), designed a spacecraft to study the Sun and its effects on the Earth, in the orbit time around sun since February. The images was released by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory on Wednesday are the first to be sent back by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly, the collective name for the observatory’s four telescopes .

“These amazing images, which show our dynamic sun in a new level of detail, are only the beginning of SDO’s contribution to our understanding of the sun,” said SDO Project Scientist Dean Pesnell of Goddard.
“These initial images show a dynamic sun that I had never seen in more than 40 years of solar research,” said Richard Fisher, director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “SDO will change our understanding of the sun and its processes, which affect our lives and society. This mission will have a huge impact on science, similar to the impact of the Hubble Space Telescope on modern astrophysics.”

The images sent by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory show material steaming out from sunspots; the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) also captured the first high-resolution ultraviolet images tracing the different temperatures of the sun’s surface. In the UV photo (below), the red areas are relatively cool — a mere 60,000 C — while blues and greens indicate hotter areas of about 1,000,000 C.
