NASA released a spectacular five-year time lapse of the sun on Wednesday to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the launch of the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The observatory, or SDO, aims to improve our understanding of the sun’s energy and its effects on Earth and near-Earth space. For this footage, the team captured one frame of the sun every eight hours from June 2010 to Feb. 8, 2015. http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-releases-stunning-five-year-time-lapse-of-sun-213345163.html
If astronomy interests you, take a drive down to Schriever and pay a visit to Ken Stage (call first). This guy has a university-grade observatory in his back yard. http://www.stgeorgeobservatory.com/
You must not know much about the sun. There are routine explosions on its surface that easily surpass the power of all the atomic weapons ever detonated combined. Its some violent shit.
