A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation, or light, on the Sun. Flares are our solar system’s most powerful explosive events. Light only takes about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Earth, so that’s how long it would take the energy from a flare to reach our planet. Stronger solar flares — those rated class M5 or above — can have impacts on technology that depends on Earth’s ionosphere (our electrically charged upper atmosphere), like high-frequency radio used for navigation and GPS.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured these images of the flare, which peaked at 12:51 p.m. ET on May 14. The X8.7 flare appears on the lower right edge of the Sun. (A small eruption appears afterward in the upper left.) SDO sees the Sun in more than 10 distinct wavelengths of light, showing solar material at different temperatures. Different wavelengths are shown in this video to highlight different features of the flare.

As sunspots and flares bubble from the Sun’s surface, representatives from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), and the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel announced on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Sun has reached its solar maximum period.The solar cycle is the natural cycle of the Sun as it transitions between low and high activity. During the most active part of the cycle, known as solar maximum, the Sun can unleash immense explosions of light, energy, and solar radiation — all of which create conditions known as space weather. Space weather can affect satellites and astronauts in space, as well as communications systems — such as radio and GPS — and power grids on Earth. || ", "release_date": "2024-10-15T15:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-09-16T10:57:32.273655-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 1098457, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014600/a014685/thumbnail_design.png", "filename": "thumbnail_design.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "16:9 Landscape Version with HBY Logo and NASA MeatballMusic Credit: “Society News Bed Instrumental” by Jean-Francois Berger [SACEM] via Universal Production Music", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "pixels": 921600 } }, { "id": 14593, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14593/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Continuing Strong Solar Flares: May 15-16, 2024", "description": "During the week of May 10 to May 16, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed nine X-class solar flares erupting from the Sun, including the largest in this solar cycle to date on May 14 that peaked at X8.7.This video shows these flares using SDO observations in two wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, 131 angstroms (colorized as teal) and 171 angstroms (colorized as gold).These flares originated primarily from an active region on the Sun called AR 13664. This region, along with another called AR 13663, was responsible for the majority of strong solar flares from May 3 through May 9.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Music credit: \"Collab Alert\" by Ellis Kent [PRS] from Universal Production Music || Thumbnail02.jpg (1280x720) [818.1 KB] || 14593_X-ClassFlaresDominateSunInMay_1080_YouTube.mp4 (1920x1080) [221.9 MB] || XClassFlares.en_US.srt [1.4 KB] || XClassFlares.en_US.vtt [1.3 KB] || 14593_X-ClassFlaresDominateSunInMay_4K_Facebook.mp4 (3840x2160) [328.8 MB] || 14593_X-ClassFlaresDominateSunInMay_4K_YouTube.mp4 (3840x2160) [539.4 MB] || 14593_X-ClassFlaresDominateSunInMay_4K_ProRes_.mov (3840x2160) [7.2 GB] || ", "release_date": "2024-05-16T10:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2024-11-25T12:03:01.031406-05:00", "main_image": { "id": 1092366, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014500/a014593/JHV_2024-05-15_11.22.12-0001.png", "filename": "JHV_2024-05-15_11.22.12-0001.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the right – on May 15, 2024.
