The video contains imagery from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in five wavelengths of ultraviolet light. Scrubbing up and down reveals new layers, from sunspots on the solar surface to prominences extending outward in the corona.
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye at night; their immense distances from Earth make them appear as fixed points of light. The most prominent stars have been categorised into constellations and asterisms, and many of the brightest stars have proper names. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that identify the known stars and provide standardized stellar designations. The observable universe contains an estimated 1022 to 1024 stars. Only about 4,000 of these stars are visible to the naked eye—all within the Milky Way galaxy.

Releases - Graham Van Pelt
Hello listeners. I have a pair of new ambiences for you, inspired by the peak of the Channel Ridge trail here on Salt Spring Island. On July 20th I'll be releasing a new long-player: "The Lookout". Its a restful midsummer mood, improvised next to an orchard. The Salish Sea and gnarled arbutus branches give way to misty cirrus and the starry heavens. Two side-long excursions toward infinity.
Waxing crescent Moon, 1.72% illuminated tonight. Venus shining SO bright in the beautiful dusk sky. I actually love how both Venus & the Moon are on the edge of the tree line. Shout-out to my wife 😍 who told me you could see them from the back garden #venus #moon #photography #nikonphotography
Amazing sunset tonight as it dipped behind a layer of cloud and trees #sunset #nikonphotography #photography #northernireland
Nebulae in The Northern Cross 🌌 I took this picture using a camera and telescope to show the intense nebulae surrounding the bright star 'Sadr' at the center of the constellation Cygnus. #astrophotography
