Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) keeps a 24-hour eye on the entire disk of the sun, with a prime view of the graceful dance of solar material coursing through the sun’s atmosphere, the corona. The video shows six years – from Jan. 1, 2015, to Jan. 28, 2016, as one time-lapse sequence. Watch the magnetic fields in HD and get the explanations in the second part of the video – terrific work by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center!

NASA employee Adam Voiland collected satellite images from clouds and landscapes that (more or less) look like letters from our alphabet. I am pretty sure this is going to be helpful one day.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures images of the Sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. This video (4K) presents the nuclear fire of our life-giving star in intimate detail, offering new perspective into our own relationships with grand forces of the solar system.

NASA, NASA and again NASA – yes but who else is up there…watch it full size and in max resolution. Oh yes, it is an effervescent tablet dissolving in a floating ball of water…in space.

A fantastic new image of the Veil nebula showing its expansion after the explosion over the past years. What you see is gas in different densities and temperatures, click here for the full explanation.

It took 9 years, 700 million dollars and 4 billion kilometers for the orbiter New Horizons to make this beautiful picture of Pluto from a 9600 kilometer distance – totally worth it!

Some stuff never gets old, for example videos from space – espacially when they come in a super high-definition format.

NASA (man they are good) has published some vintage poster in high-res for you to download showing gravity and exoplanets Kepler 16b/186f, sweet! The private Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) also jumped on the bandwagon with 3 vintage travel poster to make you more interested in real estate on mars.

Fantastic footage, once again from NASA. A 10 minute video of “Orion’s flight test show the plunge through Earth’s atmosphere, when searing plasma so hot it appears purple (upper left) surrounds Orion.A few minutes later you can witness the jettison of the forward bay cover, followed by the release of the drogue chutes and then the main chutes (lower left). It’s all right there before your eyes just as it happened on Orion and how future astronauts will see it when they return from deep space missions and one day coming home from Mars.”
