Have you been checking out the href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/the-sun/solar/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">Solar Dynamics Observatory website and seeing all the amazing, high resolution images of our closest href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/stars/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">star? If not, you should. Above is a great new video of SDO's capabilities and latest images. If you want to see what href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/the-sun/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">the Sun looks like right now, go to href="http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/">SDO's homepage. And here's a link to the href="http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/aiahmi/browse.php">SDO image browser where you can see the different images in different wavelengths from the AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly) and HMI (Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager). If you choose the date range option, you can see a "movie" of the href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/the-sun/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">Sun's activity. For example, check out the enormous href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/the-sun/coronal/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">coronal hole in the northern hemisphere seen last week in AIA 193 (date range 6/28 to 7/3), allow all the images to download and then press "Play." Completely awesome. The href="http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/">SDO website should be part of your daily internet routine!
