SDO: Year 6 Ultra-HD

The video from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center explores solar dynamics using imagery from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. It covers the sun's atmosphere, focusing on phenomena like filaments, prominences, and magnetic loops. The video explains how these features are influenced by magnetic fields and discusses solar activity, including coronal mass ejections and solar eruptions. It also highlights the sun's rotation and the role of active regions in solar phenomena. The coronal heating problem, which examines why the solar corona is hotter than the surface, is also addressed.
