Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 NASA has released a 10-year time lapse video of the sun by taking 425 million high-resolution images every 0.75 seconds in its orbit around Earth. Each day can be seen in the lower left corner of the video. You can appreciate the video more by turning the volume down on the NASA video and turning UP the volume of this one....

Uh... Hey, Cool Gun ~ Didn't some dude named Copernicus tell us that the Earth orbits the Sun...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan, I'm sure NASA is aware of that; however, I believe they were talking about Spacecraft orbiting the Earth while taking the pictures.

Alpo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 So y'all can actually see something on that first video? Because I have tried to watch it three times now, and all three times I get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Interesting how much the sun changed in that relatively short period of time. There wasn't nearly as many bright spots at the end. I wonder if the overall intensity of the sun had changed measurably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video is almost a 1/2 cycle, I'm looking forward to the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
