And it is that the number of photographs was achieved by capturing an image of the sun every 0.75 seconds.
“This is a decade of the Sun,” the body shared on its Twitter account.
The Observatory of Dynamics of the Sun (SDO) was in charge of making the impressive product that collected thousands of hours in just one minute of video.
The video already has more than 1 million views and has been shared more than 30 thousand times.
