Video of flare and eruption in several wavelengths. It begins with 304 angstrom, then 171, and finally a blend of 304, 171 and 131, which shows the hottest flaring regions.Music: s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare on Oct. 2, 2014. The solar flare is the bright flash of light on the right limb of the sun. A burst of solar material erupting out into space can be seen just below it.Image Credit: NASA/SDO || 4k frames and video covering a time period of 16:30 UT to 21:30 UT. 304 angstrom wavelength extreme ultraviolet light.Credit: NASA/SDO || 4k frames and video covering a time period of 16:30 UT to 21:30 UT. 171 angstrom wavelength extreme ultraviolet light.Credit: NASA/SDO || 4k frames and video covering a time period of 16:30 UT to 21:30 UT. 131 angstrom wavelength extreme ultraviolet light.Credit: NASA/SDO
