Astronomers from the
Solar Dynamics Observatory (NASA) for the first time took a photo of our
central achiever in high definition.
We have not had time to
approve of the photographs of the Sun made by Solar Dynamics Observatory, but
this time the picture was in use in a high resolution, which officials said
NASA, that smooth the most modern TV Ultra-HD TV cannot show it at full
resolution.
Spacecraft "Solar
Dynamics Observatory" (Solar Dynamics Observatory / SDO), launched by the
American space agency, in February 2010, is "guilty" of the most
stunning images of solar flares.
SDO spacecraft must
have worked in orbit for about 5 years, the program "Living with a
Star." On board SDO is 3 large tools that can get 12 different types of
images of the Sun. One picture SDO has 4,096 by 4,096 pixels, which allows
scientists to observe the Sun's surface details with angular size of 0.6
seconds. The device transmits the images to Earth every 12 seconds, which is
about 3 terabytes of data per day, or one petabyte per year.
SDO is the purpose of
understanding the impact of the Sun on the Earth and near-Earth space by
studying the solar atmosphere on small weighing machine of space and time and
in many wavelengths simultaneously.
NASA legislative body
proudly declared that "the resolution of SDO is at least two times higher
than the new ultra-modern TV Ultra-HD TV".
New photo captures the
size of the Sun 322 kilometers, while the diameter of the sun is 1.3 million
kilometers.
