Timelapse video of the largest spot on the Sun from NASA + video model of the 2005 earth hurricane

Many have probably heard that from October 14 to October 30 of this year, the largest spot in 24 years was observed on the Sun. Its diameter was 129 thousand kilometers. The spot size was measured, of course, not by eye, but by scientific instruments.

This phenomenon was also accompanied by flashes of the X-class and the M-class, which was published in the media. All this beauty was shot by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, which received one image every 34 seconds. Now these images are put together, and presented in the form of HD timelapse video.

The author of the scientifically popular blog Infinity Imagined collected videos from 17 thousand images. This is approximately 72 GB of data. Every second of the video is 52.5 minutes of the real life of the Sun. It turns out, an 8-minute video shows us an event of 16 and a half days. It should be clarified that the photos are provided by NASA, and processed - by the author of the blog.

By the way, the video is not just HD quality, it is 4K quality - if someone managed to buy a TV or laptop with 4K display, he will be able to see the event in all its glory.



The second video is also very beautiful, the spot itself is shown here, with the image of the Earth for clarity of the size of the phenomenon.



By the way, NASA experts recently presented another interesting video - a model of the movement of the Earth’s atmosphere in 2005 - it was then that China was affected by the 4th category hurricane. Now the model has been worked out using a large amount of hurricane data.
