This great new video (just uploaded today!) does a great job of explaining the upcoming Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission, which is slated to launch on Feb. 9, 2010. SDO will provide a new eye on the sun that will deliver solar images with 10 times better resolution than high-definition television. This mission will zoom in on the cause of severe space weather?solar activity such as sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. It will give us the best look ever at our Sun.
For more information see our detailed preview article on SDO.
