''In solar physics, an "arcade" typically refers to a complex arrangement of magnetic loops in the Sun's atmosphere. These loops are often associated with active regions on the Sun, where intense magnetic activity occurs. I wanted to create a long ambient piece in color that would allow the viewer to appreciate the beauty of these structures as they develop at full cadence, the highest fidelity and without interruption.''

101,637 ångström-171, 193 & 211 frames acquired by Solar Dynamics Observatory on 15th - 28th November 2023 are conformed, repaired, graded, blended, rescaled & retimed to create the video footage used in this film. Gaps in the data are removed, frame offsets are corrected, artifacts are repaired. Each wavelength is assigned to a color channel, blended & graded to provide the final image.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory ( SDO ) is a spacecraft in a geosynchronous orbit that continuously observes the Sun and its effects on Earth. Its main goal is to understand solar activity and its effects on the Earth's environment, including space weather and climate.

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly ( AIA ) for the Solar Dynamics Observatory is designed to provide an unprecedented view of the solar corona, to significantly improve our understanding of the physics behind the activity displayed by the Sun's atmosphere.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) is a U.S. government agency responsible for civilian space programs, aeronautics research, and planetary science. NASA's mission is to drive advances in science, technology, aeronautics, and space exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth.
