Re: Solar Dynamics Observatory
Haha, that sentence alone brought a smile on my face. Anyway, news like this give confidence that there is still hope for mankind to take to the stars one day. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99skxXgx ... r_embedded - Heres a video from SDO website showing the sun in different modes. Its simply beautiful. http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/firstlight/ - There are more pictures at the lower part of the page, click the next button below the pictures to see more. _________________ When someone asks how rich you are, quote Rinox " I don't even have a rusty nail to scratch my butt with...!"
