• SDO • 2012 Solar Flare in 193, 171, 304 Angstroms 26.8.2020 • This flare ocurred in August of 2012 over a period of approximately 4.5 hours. The video is a composite of three wavelengths of 193A, 171A, 304Angstroms and processed by Alan Watson. 2012 was a particularily active year for the sun and 12 days before the featured video a super flare and resulting CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) proved a near miss for Earth. If the huge solar eruption had hit the Earth, the effects would have been so dev

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such sp

Massive X-Class Solar Flare Heading for Earth 🌎⚡ Auroras Incoming!” A powerful X-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun, launching a coronal mass ejection (CME) directly toward Earth. This event could produce bright, widespread auroras far beyond the polar regions, lighting up the night sky in vivid shades of green, pink, and purple. Space agencies are monitoring the solar storm closely, as strong CMEs can affect satellites, communications, and power grids. For sky watchers, this is a rare
