Posting a video on X from Solar Dynamics Observatory
Solar Dynamics Observatory AIA Channel at 211 Angstrom which is Fe XIV “Active region corona” (10^6.3 = 1.995 Million Kelvin) from 1 Jan 2024 to 20 Oct 2024, every 100th image at 1024×1024. You can make you own at https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/aiahmi/
Channels are described at /data/channels.php
In full screen use the settings (gear symbol at bottom) to change the speed from 0.25 up to 2.0 times the speed. The Solar Dynamics Observatory “The Sun Now” is at https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/
The archived regular movies for different channels at 1024×1024 in mp4 and ogv formats are in directories at https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/dailymov/
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend their “JSOC Data” pages. They got it working and have not made it simple to use. They still use FITS, “Flexible Image Transport System” which is NOT supported well in browsers, or on the whole Internet. (Also years out of date and clumsy).
Science is based on lossless data, and NASA dumps lossy images mostly for “the public” or “citizen science” or “internet users”. (They do not look down on people, they let the publicists sneer or dumb down and “share” eye candy, not data.) But here are links:
