RF2DAT0CR–THE SUN - 10 September 2017 - NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the right side –

RM2T73JR1–NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured these images of a solar flare on Oct. 2, 2014. The solar flare is the bright flash of light on the right li

RM2H3MX5F–NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare, as seen in the bright flash at the Sun's lower center, on October 28, 2021. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized here in teal. 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 and communications signals travel.

RMW0N0A1–From March 20-23, 2018, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured three sequences of our Sun in three different extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. The resulting images illustrate how different features that appear in one sequence are difficult, if not impossible, to see in the others. In the red sequence (304 Angstroms), we can see very small spicules - jets of solar material -. and some small prominences at the Sun's edge, which are not easy to see in the other two sequences. In the second sequence (193 Angstroms), we can readily observe the large and dark coronal hole, though it is difficult

RMEN8F7X–NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, captured this solar image on March 16, 2015, which clearly shows two dark patches, known as coronal holes. The larger coronal hole of the two, near the southern pole, covers an estimated 6- to 8-percent of the total solar surface. While that may not sound significant, it is one of the largest polar holes scientists have observed in decades. The smaller coronal hole, towards the opposite pole, is long and narrow. It covers about 3.8 billion square miles on the sun - only about 0.16-percent of the solar surface. Coronal holes are lower density and temp

RM2H3MX15–Washington DC, USA. 29th Oct, 2021. This image, showing activity on the edge of the Sun, was captured on October 25, 2021, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and shows a blend of light from the 171 and 304 angstrom wavelengths. 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 and communications signals travel.

RM2KYBABA–This is an image of a solar flare captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. It shows a solar flare in three wavelengths of light: visible, 171 angstroms, and 304 angstroms (an angstrom is roughly the diameter of an atom and it's the measurement we use to define the size of light waves). Each wavelength shows a different temperature of material. Image courtesy of NASA... Photographs Relating to Disasters and Emergency Management Programs, Activities, and Officials

RM2H8T7TG–Washington, United States. 02nd Dec, 2021. This image, showing an X1.0 class solar flare flashes in the center of the Sun, was captured on October 28, 2021, by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and shows a blend of light from the 171 and 304 angstrom wavelengths.

This image combines three images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured on May 3, 2013, at 1:45 pm EDT, just as an M-class solar flare from the same region was subsiding. The images include light from the 131, 171 and 304 Angstrom wavelengths. Credit: NASA/Goddard/SDO --- The sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 1:32 pm EDT on May 3, 2013.
