NASA: THREE YEARS OF SUN IN THREE MINUTES

In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun's rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.
Amazing and beautiful.  The musical accompaniment is "A Lady's Errand of Love" by Martin Lass.

Thanks to Paul (A.).

    Amazing. Imagine the astonishment of Copernicus, Galileo, et al., if they could have foreseen such a thing.

      Yes, poor, misunderstood Copernicus and Galileo would be surprised and delighted, I'm still astonished by pictures from space. I love the music NASA chose to accompany the video.
