Solar Dynamics Observatory

On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...

The near-Earth Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this CME in September 2012, which traveled over 900 miles per second (1,448 kilometers per second), causing an aurora to appear.

ISRO on Monday said that Aditya-L1, its first observatory from India to study the Sun will be launched soon. The satellite has arrived at the ISRO spaceport in Sriharikota, according to the space agency. Aditya-L1 carries seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Sun.

This video shows solar activity as it was observed by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory from August 12 to December 22, 2022.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured this image in October 2014.

Following Tuesday's partial solar eclipse, the Sun developed what appeared to be a smiley face pattern in its atmosphere. NASA Sun shared the image which showed a face-like pattern made out of black patches against the Sun's otherwise fiery features.

American space agency NASA on Sunday captured the moment the Sun emitted a powerful burst of energy into space.

On April 30, American space agency NASA managed to capture an image of a solar flare using its Solar Dynamics Observatory and posted the picture on its Instagram handle.

In a video shared on Twitter, we can see the timelapse in “ultraviolet light, captured by the SDO spacecraft over the course of a month”

NASA missions, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) which watches the Sun, will join timekeepers around the world to add a leap second to its clocks, just before midnight on New Year's Eve.

We imagine the Sun as a giant burning furnace that brings sunlight to us but NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has spotted two huge holes on its surface called "coronal holes".

Mercury transit will be broadcast live video and images from the orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory and other telescopes.

The seventh calibration mission for an instrument on Nasa's SDO will launch into space on board a sounding rocket for a 15-minute flight.

A NASA spacecraft has captured a giant solar filament which appears as a dark line snaked across the lower half of the Sun and is longer than 67 Earths lined up in a row.

Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory, with its Advanced Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument, hit the milestone on January 19.
