NASA SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) is a spacecraft launched in 2010 to study the Sun and its effects on Earth. It takes high-resolution images of the Sun in multiple wavelengths, providing scientists with valuable data on solar activity.
NASA SDO has been in operation for 3 years, since its launch in February 2010. It is still currently in operation and continues to capture images of the Sun.
NASA SDO captures images of the Sun in multiple wavelengths, including ultraviolet, visible, and extreme ultraviolet. These images show different aspects of the Sun's activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Scientists have learned a great deal from NASA SDO's images, including how solar activity affects Earth's magnetic field, how solar flares and coronal mass ejections form, and how the Sun's magnetic field changes over time. These images have also helped improve our understanding of space weather and its potential impact on Earth.
NASA SDO's high-resolution images provide scientists with a wealth of data on the Sun's activity, helping us better understand its behavior and its effects on Earth. The spacecraft also collects data on solar wind, magnetic fields, and other phenomena, contributing to our overall understanding of the Sun and its role in our solar system.
