This ~2 minute video uses spacecraft views to show how the Sun's features vary between solar minimum and maximum. The video incorporates imagery from multiple spacecraft missions to demonstrate the dramatic differences in solar activity levels throughout the Sun's 11-year cycle. Viewers can observe how solar features like sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections change as the Sun transitions from its quiet phase to its most active period.
