Edited SDO image of the sun made up of really teeny SDO images.

 

Original caption: NASA's SDO Collects Its 100 Millionth Image

This mosaic of AIA's 100 millionth image is created from previous AIA images – each tile in the mosaic is 50 pixels across. Zoom in to see each tile. All the sun pictures used in the mosaic show extreme ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 193 Angstroms. At maximum resolution the mosaic is 15,000 pixels on a side and each tile is 50 pixels per side.
