    "title": "Extreme Solar Eruption Caught On Camera",
    "description": "A massive spray of high-energy particles blasted from the sun and shot into space during a magnificent solar eruption captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite. The spectacular event took place on June 7, 2011 over a period of six hours when an M-2 class (medium-sized) solar flare, a large prominence eruption, and a coronal mass ejection were observed from sunspot complex 1226-1227. Scientists estimate hot plasma and powerful X-rays burst into the sun's atmosphere and exited the corona at speeds over 3 million mph. Trapped particles unable to reach escape velocity traversed the solar sky in evanescent arcs, some traveling more than 215,000 miles, and showered the surface in a speckled array of bright flashes as the fiery sphere reheated the slightly cooled material. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on SDO recorded the event at multiple wavelengths using its extreme UV sensor and transmitted the images to Earth in awesome 16.8 mega-pixel resolution. Watch a time-lapse video of the eruption below and relive the moment. || ",

After producing more than 100 stories our goal remains the same: Put the science first and let data visualization bring into focus the natural events and changes taking place on Earth and beyond. But sometimes we just want to sit back, take in the amazing images and let our minds wander. This is one of those moments. The video highlights some of the best illustrations from this year's stories. As for what's coming out in year two—keep looking. You never know what you'll see. || ",

            "description": "On June 7, 2011 the Sun unleashed an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME). The large cloud of particles mushroomed up and fell back down looking as if it covered an area almost half the solar surface.SDO observed the flare's peak at 1:41 AM ET. SDO recorded these images in extreme ultraviolet light that show a very large eruption of cool gas. It is somewhat unique because at many places in the eruption there seems to be even cooler material — at temperatures less than 80,000 K.This video uses the full-resolution 4096 x 4096 pixel images at a one minute time cadence to provide the highest quality, finest detail version possible.It is interesting to compare the event in different wavelengths because they each see different temperatures of plasma. See the transcript for more notes on this.Frames for each wavelength are available on these separate pages: 304, 171, 211, and1700. || ",
