The video shows images captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory over 24 hours on September 25, 2011, emphasised in vivid blues, greens and yellows.

The original frames are in the 171 Angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet which shows plasma on the surface of sun at around 600,000 Kelvin.
"This video takes SDO images and applies additional processing to enhance the structures visible," said a Nasa spokesperson.
"While there is no scientific value to this processing, it does result in a beautiful, new way of looking at the sun."
