SDO - Filament Eruption - 2012-02-24 00:00 to 12:00 - AIA 211Å, 193Å, and 171Å Composite - HD
The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory is a series of devices set up to take images of the Sun every few seconds and through a variety of filters. This video is a 12 hour series of data gathered by the 211Å, 193Å, and 171Å filters. Images from the three filters are combined to make a RGB composite video which shows a large filament eruption. There are almost 3600 images used to make the frames for the video, 1200 of each wavelength. What you're seeing here is actual time sped up by almost 1000 times.
