“AR 3664 on a Setting Sun” is copyrighted by Marco Meniero. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAR 3664 was an active region on the Sun larger than Earth itself. It was visible without magnification and contained powerful magnetic fields and numerous sunspots. This region unleashed a series of explosions, sending energetic particles towards Earth. These particles created beautiful auroras, and the region might continue to be active.
