SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory)

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a space-based NASA satellite that continuously observes the Sun, providing detailed images and data about its activities. It helps scientists understand solar phenomena like sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections, which can impact Earth's space environment and technology. By studying these solar processes in real time with high resolution and multiple wavelengths, SDO improves our ability to forecast space weather, protect satellites and power grids, and gain insights into how the Sun influences the solar system.
