February 11, 2015 marks five years in space for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which provides incredibly detailed images of the whole sun 24 hours a day. Capturing an image more than once per second, SDO has provided an unprecedentedly clear picture of how massive explosions on the sun grow and erupt ever since its launch on Feb. 11, 2010. The imagery is also captivating, allowing one to watch the constant ballet of solar material through the sun's atmosphere, the corona.

Get some shut-eye with a little help from The Dude.

Jeff Bridges has recorded an album sure to appeal to insomniacs and fans of weird ambient drone music alike. The star of The Big Lebowski and True Grit, among so many other great films, has lent his gravelly voice to Jeff Bridges Sleeping Tapes, a double album pairing his spoken word with drifting piano, soft drones and field recordings.
