+
 A Python library to download and analyze data from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
+
+This library uses the [Sunpy](https://sunpy.org/) package to download the images
+and the [aiapy](https://aiapy.readthedocs.io) package to align and prepare the 
+images to be ready for scientific analysis.
+
+While this package uses Sunpy to download the data, it does not represent SDO
+images as instances of
+[`sunpy.map.Map`](https://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/generated/api/sunpy.map.Map.html),
+it represents images using [`named_arrays.FunctionArray`](https://named-arrays.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_autosummary/named_arrays.FunctionArray.html).
+
+## Installation
+
+This package is published on PyPI and can be installed using pip
+```bash
+pip install solar-dynamics-observatory
+```
