Solar Flare in the Gamma-ray Sky

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

On March 7, 2012, a powerful solar flare dominated the gamma-ray sky, shining with energies a billion times greater than visible light. This image shows the intensity of that flare across the whole sky. Usually, gamma-ray sources are exotic objects like black holes or pulsars, but this time it was our own Sun.
