Solar Flare & Extreme Ultraviolet Light
February 25, 2014 The sun emits a significant solar flare on February 24. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which keeps a constant watch on the sun, captured images of the event. These SDO images from 7:25 p.m. EST on February 24 show the first moments of this X-class flare in different wavelengths of light -- seen as the bright spot that appears on the left limb of the sun. Hot solar material can be seen hovering above the active region in the sun's atmosphere, the corona. Second photo February 19, 2014 NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory image in extreme ultraviolet light shows an active region of the sun's coronal loops taken over about a two-day period, February 8-10. Coronal loops are found around sunspots & in active regions. ~msn.com~  ·  · |
