The Sun put on yet another spectacular light show today with a massive solar flare captured in high definition by NASA’s space-based Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The solar eruption resulted in a massive plasma cloud being ejected from the Sun. Footage of the solar blast, classed an M2 Class Event, shows the eruption from sunspot 1226 blanketing almost one third of the solar disk. The flare occurred at 6.41 A.M. GMT. today, Tuesday, June 7, 2011.
The US National Weather Service (NWS) today warned that the solar flare, one of the largest to occur since December 2006, will lead to Gemagnetic Storm activity tomorrow, Wednesday, June 8, 2011.
