The sky on

Active Regions, CMEs, and X-Class Flares
Space Weather forecasters predicted major storm conditions as the active Sun produced at least three strong flares. This recent X-ray image of the Sun shows the active region generating the explosive events. It is the Sun's most intense source of X-rays, as the dominant bright area just above center. X-ray hot plasma suspended in looping magnetic fields arcs above this region.
