NASA | SDO: Exploring the Sun in High Definition

The video discusses NASA's Living with a Star program and its first mission, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which studies the Sun and space weather. SDO features advanced cameras for high-resolution imaging, capturing full-disk images of the Sun every 10 seconds. It also examines extreme ultraviolet wavelengths and the Sun's magnetic field to understand solar activity. The instruments on SDO work together to predict space weather, providing valuable insights into solar phenomena and their effects on Earth.
