Video: Three years of solar activity in three minutes – NASA timelapse

NASA has released a timelapse video showing three years of solar activity in just three minutes. The video shows changes in our sun as it approaches the peak of its 11-year solar cycle.

The images were taken by NASA’s SDO spacecraft and the video shows a number of solar flares and coronal mass ejections, that throw solar radiation in the direction of the earth, interfering with satellites and communication systems.
