The 32 dislikes are flat-earthers who think the sun is just a bright light circling overhead. That it's rotating makes it even worse.

At 12:24 / 12:25 (June 6 2012) either Venus or Mercury passes ("transits") in front of the sun. Look for its silouette as it crosses the upper half of the sun from left to right. EDIT: I just found that it was Venus which transited...only one of two this century (the other being in 2004).

My mom warned me about staring at the sun. Now I can't see a darn thing.

I am in absolute awe. Hard to wrap your mind around it really, whether you are a religious or spiritual person, or neither. To think that it has been out there "cooking" away for 4.6 billion years and we are able to sit here and watch it on KZfaq because of it, crazy. The perfect background music to be playing too.

I can't stop looking at it, can't seem to turn away even for a moment. It seems almost hypnotic.

Sun 10 yrs ago: *I WILL KILL EASY* Sun now: *all I can do is be a bright boi*

It's like watching the biggest campfire ever.

Not too shabby for a middle aged star. Look-ing-good.

It’s crazy to think about how it takes a photon a million years to travel from the core to the surface.

Quite the shockwave at 1:10

Who knew the solar winds were so musical?

NASA: Records time lapse of the sun for 10 years Me: (checks my flash storage) umm......

Hard to imagine that each of those solar flares could fit hundreds of earths 🌎 in them. We are just a lost speck of dust compared to our sun. And to think that there are other suns hundreds of times larger than this one out there.

I just love watching the history of the world . Cool piece . 😂 and you all wonder where you go. Have fun 😊❤

59:24 with .25x slow play

Sun seemed more active at the start of the decade.

Look at March 6th and you can see the solar eclipse from the vantage point of the space observatory! 53:30 on the timeline.

The change in activity from the 10 years ago to now is amazing. The sun has gone quiet.

"Skipped to ' 30:39 ' but then realised, 'half a decade' is over"

Wow!

57:06 matrix is real guys

I find it wild if you grab the slider and "fast forward through the time, and watch the sun rotate as we go around it... you can see it growing and shrinking, and really visualize the elliptical orbit the earth takes and it gets slightly closer and further away from the son

Thank you Mom..without you we would not be possible!

This sun looks like a ball of golden glitters .

I used to wonder where the Sun went at night...then it dawned on me!!! But seriously, really cool video. Love seeing the changes in solar cycle activity

I love watching the solar flares this is amazinggg

This is beautiful, yet haunting. I love it!

What I see when I'm waiting for my food in the microwave

57:06 Glitch in the system*

Oh my god!its stunning and breathtaking!

14:38 Creators of universe : Let's just reboot this server .

Some of ya'll actually sat through this on normal playback. That blows my mind even more.

So happy you you mentioned it was a time lapse, at first, I thought I was gonna sit here for 10 years

Image e video exstraordinary.Magnificent star that with its light and warmth keeps life on this earth. I love the sun immensely..👍👏👏👏🤩☀️🌏❤️

Ok but when do yall find a cure for hairloss lmao.

Whoa.. the flares dropped a lot towards the end.. the sun and I went through puberty together, and by 2016/17 our pimples/flares dropped.

Great...now I'm blind.

Wow so amazing...something so dangerous and deadly...without it we cannot survive..its so beautiful.

Need some timestamps of some noticeable solar flares

Imagine if they forgot recording

I saw a video clip of many different sized spaceships living in the sun......I was floored by it......Great observation of the sun, though it's still going through it's solar minimum for another 7 or 8. Yrs......So BIG & powerful! Awesome stuff!💪✨💪👍👌

Does it make anyone else wonder, what exactly is the purpose of a 🌟, the sun, it's alive but what makes it live and what is it's driving life force, so many questions, and literally no concrete answers, amazing really

This kinda makes me think of that VHS tape from the movie The Ring. Mainly because after watching it I got a phone call wherein I only heard a voice say "Ten years..." Fascinating.

Damn I really had that on loop

Oh god ! Such a mysterious universe 🤩

I had no idea the sun made noises like that, almost sounds a bit like music. 😮

Fantastic Job by NASA, hadssoft to them for achieving success 😄😍😮🙏

i love how you can see both the solar cycle and the slight eccentricity of earth's orbit

Consider watching this without ads where is was originally posted on NASA's KZfaq channel. Great that CNET is cross posting, but they left off a lot of information, apparently dropped some frames, and the annotation of major events.

Watching with my sunglasses on. Just in case. 😃 I don't want to go blind like Roger Smith in American Dad. 😁

its hypnotic

"Japakusumsankasham Kashypeyam Mahadhyutim Tamorim Sarvapaapagnam Prantosmi Divakaram" Meaning: I bow down to the Sun God who is the cause of the day break, who dispels all darkness, who destroys all sins , who is matchless in brilliance, who is the son of Kashyapa and who is as red as a Japa Kusuma flower. Thank you NASA for uploading this 👍🙏

I love the video . Nice video. wounder full.

Wow... I love the video. Watching it a couple of times, I noticed the following: From 2010 on the sun looks pretty active/agressive; as if the sun is about to explode; gigantic flares over appr. 50% of the sun. From feb. 2013 the flares are getting smaller and the sun looks less 'agressive' From jul. 2015 the flares are getting smaller and the amount of flares are decreasing; looks as if there is less activity. From jan. 2017 the sun looks pretty calm From 21st of may 2019 the flares stopped almost completely and the sun looks totaly calm, only to have a sporadic outburst in nov. 2019, mar. 2020 and in may 2020. To me it looks like the sun has picked up some more activity since may this year. Is it me or do the polars of the sun look darker? And what does that mean?

Excited

It's wanderfull!

Like I didn't already have enough useless things to do instead of housecleaning, shopping, eating, sleeping, etc. Then this comes out. Great, just great. Seriously, all kidding aside, this is awesome! (And I should be sleeping right now...)

Thank you oooh so much to the scientist who made this possible. I watch this when I'm drying my hair after a shower, seems fitting somehow. Thank you Mom!

The solar activity is so much less in 2020 in comparison to previous years

Whoa what the heck was that rippling effect on aug 1st 2010?! That looked crazy!

cool, is the sun flat too...

what happened on 20 june 2015 (30:54) ? it looks like a giant wave from the middle to the south

In late June 2013, an intense heat wave struck the Southwestern United States. Various places in Southern California reached up to 50 °C (122 °F). On 30 June, Death Valley, California hit 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) which is the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth during the month of June.

Play it at 0.25x speed for the full experience

Interesting fact: The sun is bigger than 90% of all stars in the Galaxy!

Great Screen saver

June 7th 2011 scientists saw for the first time the eruption of plasma from the sun in this way at that magnitude. 6:19 it's hard to spot because of how fast the time lapse is

Transit of Venus 6 June 2012, just after 12:20.

That stunning how my commentary is the 366th in a video of the sun like the 366 days of a year.

21 Million giga bytes of images were stitched to make this video

Wow, if it weren't for that thing I wouldn't be here typing...

SUCH A GORGEOUS ENLIGHTENING EPIC ILLUMINATING SUNKISSED CREATION !

Hello nice vid

spiritual experience.

It is deceptive. The the rotation of the Sun describes passage of time. It isn't actually rotating that fast. The Sun rotates differentially. The equator takes 1 month to rotate around itself and pole takes 3.

It looked more calm towards the end....

Earth is also hot from inside. Sun's heat has crossed it's crust

The sun has about 5 billion years left, so this 10 year view is like a "blink" in it's life

Amazing. If you fast forward the video enough, you'll see the sun radius size oscillating a little bit. Is that due the to the sun itself or is the distance of the probe changing?

10:55 Watch to the left of the south pole on 2012 Mar 11. This anomaly occurred almost exactly one year after the massive tsunami that hit Japan on 2011 Mar 11.

Wow you can see the magnetic pole flip! A sun cycle lasts about 11 years. Sunspots are in two rings around the sun, close to the poles...then they get closer to the equator. After that it gets all mixed up and the active reagins are only on the equator. The flip happens and the sun goes quiet... slowly ramping up to solar maximum again

Thanks to NASA.

It is interesting to not how the solar flares diminished considerably since 2017 and up, I wonder why and if it is a cycle.

😌😌😌😌😌 the music is solo realaxing

if you look closely, you can see the sun is slowly sending less flares and is getting dimmer and larger. just after 10 years!

Imagine having images of other stars like this. How would other stars look like?

My sun has is now just a billion years old. Idk why time flew so quickly 😊

Can't imagine, I just saw sun for a hour.

In 2010 when it started to be shown in this video he was at Solar Máximo, Ciclo 24. With the naked eye it was possible to start observing directly without SDO or Soho, but there was an increase in brightness that I remember very well from 2016, 2017 in 2018, 2019 this brightness diminished until it reached what it is today (but I don't know when exactly cycle 24 started as far as I know these cycles last for around 11 years but it is not exact, I am not from the area) it was possible to observe how the activities Sun spots have decreased the so-called Sunspots and there has been an increase in the so-called Coronal Holes ... And currently it is reversing the polarities of Sunspots when they appear and I cannot say officially if it is changing to Solar Cycle 25. Or not ??? and these changes directly interact with our planet both in our economy, politics, climate etc ...

at the beginning of the video, the sun looked bright and there were a lot of bursts of heat. towards the end, the sun looked dull, and dark. :/

I’m a little freaked out that during 2012, the sun was flaring like crazy for the whole year... The Mayans got something right there, and I don’t think we’ve seen it yet... Notice how getting towards 2020, the sun is becoming cooler... This is alarming to me lol

Mind-blowing thought: If you denoted all the nuclear bombs on earth in the sun, the sun would just keep burning as if nothing happened it is that enormous! The blast would not even be a spark compared to the sun!

It seems like there were much less outbursts of light from 2016 and up, and that the sun was actually hotter before 2016. There is a noticable difference after 2016 and getting less and less bright after That year. What does that mean?

NOW OUR CHILDREN SHOULD DRAW A SUN WITH HOLES INSIDE OF WHICH THE WAVES SHOULD APPEAR COMING AND IT SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY YELLOW BUT LITTLE BIT BLACK AS WELL .

53:29 something looks like moon visible at 0.25 low speed

Sit within and burst outward triumphantly into a life of abundance

🇧🇷 A minha teoria é de que nesses últimos 10 anos o sol obteve sim uma grande mudança. Você percebe isso de 2012 à 2020, onde parece que toda aquela energia que tinha em 2012 foi se estabilizando ao longo dos anos, e por isso vemos um sol mais "maciço" por volta de 2019 e 2020.

is the moment of the magnetic flip in this time-lapse and if yes at whitch point?

looks like a lemon

It is really Cool !! So , 1 second = 1 day ... How long is equal to one revolution aroud the sun ? And , Why do we go around from East to West ? Is that just the Camera/Probe ?? Curiosity !!
