HERE is something that will brighten your day.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center has released a stunning time lapse video of the sun’s activity in 2015.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which was launched in 2010, shot the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths — capturing solar material of more than 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (555537.778 degrees Celsius).

The video covers the sixth year of the SDO mission during the period from January 1, 2015 to January 28, 2016 with a frame taken every two hours.

During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time.

“The image is remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits Earth at 6876mph, and Earth orbits the sun at 67,062mph,” according to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Scientists study the images to better understand the complex electromagnetic system causing the constant movement on the sun, which can ultimately have an effect closer to Earth.
