10 years of our sun in time-lapse

A 10-year time-lapse of the sun

was released by NASA

The Solar Dynamics Observatory

has watched the sun for over 10 years

taking 425 million high-resolution images

every 0.75 seconds in its orbit around Earth

The images show the outermost part

of the sun's atmosphere

which gives rise to solar wind

the hot, energized, charged particles

that stream outward

and fill the solar system
