Breathtaking 4K Time Lapse Captures 4 years of the Sun

We can't get enough of this mesmerizing solar time lapse, SUN, by Michael König. The film pieces together 21 scenes from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center's 4K footage, which were captured over the past four years by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly to create a hypnotizing four minute film. The footage was shot from 2011 to 2015 by the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft.

 

König treats us with a glimpse at the incredible solar activity that is too intense to see with the naked eye. Solar eclipses, planets in orbit, solar flares, filaments and the sun's fiery atmospheric dance are a few things you can expect to see and leave you in awe. This film brilliant work and shows how powerful and beautiful our sun truly is.
