Are you sure it was the sun that caused blindness? *taps nose *

Some of my mates went blind from starring at the sun, poor old

Magnetohydrodynamics always is. It’s especially humbling for computational fluid dynamicists like myself.

You could at least have said “SDO video” or “Solar Dynamics Observatory” in the OP.

When it was launched my thought was “SDO is just another SOHO with a higher frame rate”. But I was wrong, the higher frame rate coupled with significantly higher resolution has been very useful, scientifically.
