The universe is full of wonders that are thousands and millions of kilometers from our planet. Thanks to technology, we have been able to approach these distant bodies to learn about their behavior and how this universe works. One of these bodies is the sun, the star that nourishes our planet and the protagonist of this wonderful time-lapse.

This video shows us the sun acting from June 2, 2010 to June 1, 2020. It is made up of 425 million images, and a photographic archive of around 20 million GB of information stored.
To capture the video, the Solar Dynamics Observation Division (SDO) uses a computational imaging system, which captures 10 different light waves every 12 seconds. Also, the lab captures a photo of the star every 0.75 seconds. Among so much material we can find amazing images of the sun, such as large-scale eruptions, the passing of Venus in front of the sun and several other events that are linked in the description of the video on YouTube.
The video is constructed by a photo of every hour in that period of 10 years. There are times when it looks black or when the sun is not aligned. This is because at that time the telescope was not working well or the telescope had to be calibrated for capture. Although in an hour of material these spaces do not make as much noise.
