Over the past decade, the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory has been capturing photographs of the sun. From 2 June 2010 to 1 June 2020, the SDO took a photo of the sun every 0.75 seconds, which amassed a staggering 425 million photographs, which works out as an equally mind-boggling 20 million gigabytes of data. This information has enabled NASA to make countless new discoveries about how our closest star works and how it influences the solar system.
