Explanation:
Don't panic, the Sun has not gone wild. But this wild-looking portrait of the
nearest star to planet Earth was made on March 30th by the recently launched
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Shown in false-color, the composite view
covers extreme ultraviolet wavelengths and traces hot plasma at temperatures
approaching 1 million kelvins. At full resolution, SDO image data is intended
to explore solar activity in unprecedented detail. In fact, SDO will send 1.5
terabytes of data back each day, equivalent to a daily download of about half a
million MP3 songs. New SDO data releases include a high-resolution movie of the
large, eruptive prominence seen along the solar limb at the upper left.
