The Sun's Jewel Box | Nasa


Quote:This video of the sun based on data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, shows the wide range of wavelengths -- invisible to the naked eye -- that the telescope can view. SDO converts the wavelengths into an image humans can see, and the light is colorized into a rainbow of colors.

As the colors sweep around the sun in the movie, viewers should note how different the same area of the sun appears. This happens because each wavelength of light represents solar material at specific temperatures. Different wavelengths convey information about different components of the sun's surface and atmosphere, so scientists use them to paint a full picture of our constantly changing and varying star.

I think you'd get heart flutters from just about anything these days. Wink

My favorite is definitely the blue.

Definitely cool stuff for sure.

I'm also curious as to whether this type of imagery has been done on the Earth, as to how would life look through the various wavelengths of light (It has been done on a somewhat limited level with Flowers). If anything, I guess this shows just how little are physical equipment allows us to see at this time.
