NASA looks directly at the sun so you don't have to, and it's gorgeous

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in orbit keeps a constant vigil on the Sun to help us understand how solar variations impact life on Earth. Launched in 2010, the SDO is part of NASA’s Living With a Star (LWS) Program. NASA just released this magnificent 4K video shot by the SDO of our star’s nuclear fire. It’s titled “Thermonuclear Art.”
