NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory released breathtaking close-up footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a complex network of blazing plasma loops and turbulent magnetic fields. The new video captures dark filaments cutting across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and constantly reshape in real time. To appreciate the scale: the Sun spans about 1.39 million kilometres in diameter, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What may appear as tiny sparks in the footage are a

Powerful M-Class Solar Flare Sends Energy Toward Earth #Sun A powerful M-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun, releasing a surge of energy, radiation, and charged particles toward Earth. This type of solar event signals a notable increase in solar activity and highlights how dynamic and unpredictable our star can be. Because the flare originated from the Earth-facing side of the Sun, its effects may interact with Earth’s magnetosphere, potentially impacting satellites, GPS systems, radio c
