Another daring dive by the Sun, complete! 🛰️☀️✅ On Thursday, June 19, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 24th close approach to the Sun. The spacecraft matched its record distance of 3.8 million miles (about 6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface — and a mind-melting top speed of 430,000 miles per hour (about 692,000 kilometers per hour).

Mellow out with lo-fi sounds, and soak up some virtual rays. This video chronicles the Sun's activity from Aug. 12 to Dec. 22, 2022, as captured by our Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). From its orbit in space around Earth, SDO has steadily imaged the Sun in 4K resolution for nearly 13 years, enabling countless new discoveries about the workings of our closest star and how it influences the solar system. https://youtu.be/Sv3eXRN7hLo | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

In its 10 years observing the Sun, our Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite has gathered over 425 million high-resolution images of our star. This 10-year time lapse showcases photos taken at a wavelength of 17.1 nanometers, which is an extreme ultraviolet wavelength that shows the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer — the corona. Compiling one photo every hour, the movie condenses a decade of the Sun into 61 minutes. The video shows the rise and fall in activity that occurs as part of the Sun’s 1
