They’re talking about us in Wales! At a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers announced some new insights into what unleashed the powerful 2011 “Valentine’s Day” solar flare — with help from SDO.
Feast your eyes on this Flickr slideshow of SDO beauty shots.
And while you’re at it, see the past year of Solar Dynamics Observatory “pick of the week” beauty shots.
Did you miss the “Ask SDO” Twitter Q&A event on Tuesday? No problem: Experience the whole thing here on a Storify feature created by Goddard science writer Liz Zubritsky.
A year ago, NASA scientists gathered to announce the first crop of amazing SDO images to the world. But you can still watch the press conference.
Last but not least, browse the original SDO first-light image releases a year ago on the Goddard SDO website.

It is so awesome to see the results of this Observatory so soon after the data is received! As one of the Test Conductors during the development, launch and early orbit phases I am proud to see the data looking so good. Everyone who worked on this mission should be proud of their effort and accomplishment.
Yes, it’s wonderful stuff, the “Hubble for the sun.”
