NASA’s 4K View of April 17 Solar Flare

Give these people money

[@AusGeoMapping97]

Yeah lool

[@OllinWilliams]

It helps to put things in perspective, when we small beings on this small planet, can see such a stunning explosion of raw power, and know that it was considered a "medium sized" event of this nature.

[@firebird4491]

NASA needs more funding.

the nice music we're listening to is called Collide, and it's by Gregg Lehrman on the KillerTracks catalog. thanks to @NASA Goddard (comment below)

[@NASAGoddard]

+TheAlistrawberry The most asked question ever!

[@roidroid]

Has anyone got a 4K projector, and just has an entire wall in a room dedicated to displaying these gigantic sun animations 24/7?

[@NASAGoddard]

+roidroid Um. You should really check out the solarium exhibit. www.nasa.gov/solarium We have a smaller version at our Visitor Center. www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/visitor/home/index.html

[@mike_winchester]

+NASA Goddard damn, please, let me live there. xD

[@duracotton]

+NASA Goddard do they play live footage of the sun? That would be really awesome :D But I bet, NASA isn't going to use it's satellite bandwidth + visual filter computation just for their visitors 24/7..

[@ryanjohnson3615]

Are these time-lapse videos? What does a flare look like in real time? Pretty slow I imagine?

Yeah slow

[@TryTheBLT]

Is this actual footage from the solar observatory or is this a computer animation/simulation? The image is so crisp and detailed that it doesn't look real - it looks like CGI.

[@turektomasz]

Another NASA CGI. NASA - National Association of Space Actors :)

[@TheLongestReign]

+TheTubePortal "This video was captured in several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, a type of light that is typically invisible to our eyes, but is color-coded in SDO images for easy viewing."

[@TryTheBLT]

+Josh Yes, I read that, but there have been a few other cases where footage released from NASA was later revealed to be CGI. I would just like to have official confirmation from them.

[@SineEyed]

+TheTubePortal - other cases of cgi... is that so? Link please..

[@TryTheBLT]

SineEyed 2020 Look it up, they're all over the place.

[@RejectedInch]

Superb, scary, fashinating....out of reach and yet what we can't avoid. Superb choice of OST as well.

[@user5812]

Videos like this never include a time scale. Did this occur in under two minutes or is it a time lapse? It could have happened over minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Knowing this would change the perspective entirely.

[@shanelewandoski1507]

Be nice to have a 'live' stream in 4k or 8k available that zooms into activity areas. I would buy a new 4K just to watch it 24/7 ...

There are live streams but it loops every 5 minutes and says “solar flare in 10 minutes”

[@laszlozoltan5021]

I will never see the sun the same way as I did ever again. Just Wow

[@SupernalOne]

why the flickering when the flare is most intense?

[@NASAGoddard]

It overwhelms the sensors on the satellite.

[@punishalltrolls]

and the flares travel at light speed

[@truthwillbedeleted5043]

Sure it does

[@FimbongBass]

almost at light speed*

[@jarmo_kiiski]

Well, The α and β radiation (electrons, positrons and helium nuclei) travel close to the speed of light and the γ radiation travels at the speed of light, because it's basically high energy photons.

[@xmatez]

Is the pulsation part of the flare or a consequence/effect of the video capture?

[@KittyPurrsMistress]

thank you so very very much!

[@alessandrofigus3616]

Wow... How long the flare lasted?

[@Synper311]

You can't use an awesome post-rock track and then not give the details on the artist/track/album ;) Great work, as always.

Zoom. The satellite orbits Earth.

Is this actually video of the sun or is there some animation added. I understand the different light spectrums used. Looks amazing

so, every eleven years or so the magnetic field lines of the sun get so tangled that they break free and burst out of the sun as these kinds of eruptions, something like that?
