“SDO will change our understanding of the sun and its processes, which affect our lives and society. This mission will have a huge impact on science, similar to the impact of the Hubble Space ...

You might recall another fortuitous SDO image from 2014 when the sun sported a very Halloween-y jack-o'-lantern face. The more recent face-like shape is more derpy and less spooky.

The AIA filters cover 10 different wavelength bands that are selected to reveal key aspects of solar activity. EVE will measure fluctuations in the sun’s ultraviolet output.

SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly records an image of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths, according to NASA officials. The images seen in the video are in the extreme ...

The U.S. Postal Service has released "Sun Science," a set of 10 postage stamps featuring imagery from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) of our nearest star. (Image credit: USPS via ...

Even so, what we can see is extremely limited compared to what's actually out there — a fact that is dramatically illustrated by the kaleidoscopic view of the sun above. It's a frame from a movie put ...

Living With a Star. SDO was deployed in 2010 as part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program, and ever since then, it has continuously observed the Sun in 4K x 4K resolution from its orbit ...

In an unexpected turn of events, on October 16 of this year, the Moon apparently photobombed NASA's very own Solar Dynamics Observatory's clear view of the Sun. This recent apparent crossing in ...

A dark line snaked across the lower half of the sun on Feb.10, 2015, as seen in this image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO. SDO shows colder material as dark and hotter material as ...

Feb. 11, 2015, marks five years in space for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which provides incredibly detailed images of the whole sun 24 hours a day. Capturing an image more than once per ...
