A Powerful Solar Flare

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

In 2003, the Sun unleashed one of the most powerful solar flares ever recorded, an X17 class event. The SOHO spacecraft captured this image of the immense eruption, which briefly made the Sun over a hundred times brighter in X-rays. The subsequent coronal mass ejection sent energetic particles towards Earth, causing auroras and affecting satellites.
