Earlier today (2:41AM EDT), the sun kicked up a massive solar flare, and luckily NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the whole thing on film.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft caught high-definition video of the flare in different wavelengths. The event registered as a Class M-2 solar flare, which is a medium-class sun storm that should not pose a danger to satellites or infrastructure on Earth.
The images are beautiful, but tomorrow this could wreak a little havoc when the resulting magnetic wave hits earth.
