Why Does NASA Observe the Sun in Different Colors?

The video explains why the sun appears white in photos due to its emission of all visible colors. It introduces NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which observes the sun in various wavelengths, including those invisible to the naked eye. The SDO helps scientists study the sun's atmospheric layers, corona, and active regions, revealing features like coronal loops and solar flares. Understanding these phenomena aids in predicting solar storms that can impact technology on Earth and in space.

Explain how scientists convert SDO's data to colors and what information this provides.
