		<description><![CDATA[This amazing video of the sun from NASA&#8217;s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows five years of sun time in three minutes. The SDO scientists took a picture of the sun once every eight hours between June 2010 and 11 February 2015 and combined them to make the video. The different colours represent different wavelengths (types) of light). In some parts of the video the colours are blended and in some parts they are alone. Did you know the sun spins? I didn&#8217;t. It&#8217;s a ball of immensely hot hydrogen and helium gas (those are types of air) and different parts spin at different rates. The middle of the sun is about 15 million degrees Celsius. That&#8217;s another way of saying very very very very hot. Fortunately it is about 150 million kilometres away from the Earth, so we don&#8217;t get burnt up. Even so, ultraviolet rays (invisible but powerful light) from the sun can give you sunburn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The sun emitted its first notable solar flare, peaking in the early morning of 13 January, 2015. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation &#8211; a sort of non-visible light. NASA&#8217;s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, recorded this image of the flare. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through the Earth&#8217;s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However, if the flares&#8217; radiation is strong enough, it can cause problems for communications on Earth and between the Earth and satellites. This flare is classified as an M5.6-class flare. M-class flares are a tenth the size of the most intense flares, the X-class flares. The number provides more information about its strength. An M2 is twice as intense as an M1, an M3 is three times as intense, and so on.]]></description>
