NASA Video: Three Years of the Sun in Three Minutes
This
video from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows three years of
solar activity during solar maximum, the peak of the sun's activity
during its normal, 11-year cycle. The clip is compiled from two images
per day in the three-year span. Remarkable solar events in the video
include two partial eclipses of the sun by the moon, the largest flare
of this solar cycle, comet Lovejoy, and the transit of Venus.
