A gigantic UFO venting plasma from the Sun

Full Sun with lots of sunspots and active regions in 3D
December 4, 2011 - High resolution image of the Sun with lots of sunspots and active regions in exquisite detail. The Sun appears rounded

An M8. 7 class flare erupts on the Suns surface
January 22, 2012 -An M8.7 class flare erupts on the Suns surface, an earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME), and a burst of fast moving

Close-up of a solar eruptive prominence
March 30, 2010 - Close-up of a solar eruptive prominence as seen in extreme UV light

Close-up view of a massive X2. 2 solar flare erupts on the Sun
February 15, 2011 - Active region 1158 let loose with an X2.2 flare, the largest flare since 2006, and the biggest flare so far in Solar Cycle 24

A cutaway view of the sun, showing its different parts and the currents that flow within it

An artists depiction of a blue dwarf star. Blue Dwarf stars are the hypothetical stage between a red dwarf and a white dwarf

Full Sun showing coronal mass ejection
June 7, 2011 - An M-2 flare occurred on the Sun which released a very large coronal mass ejection (CME). At this wavelength, very little of the ejected material is visible

An intensity M8. 7 solar flare on the Suns surface
January 23, 2012 - An intensity M8.7 solar flare on the Suns surface. A stream of solar material is seen flowing off into space above the hot spot, likely solar protons and a coronal mass ejection

Two solar prominences erupt from the Sun
January 28, 2011 - Two solar prominences erupt from the Sun

Spring eclipse as viewed from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Unlike the crisp shadow one sees on the sun during a lunar eclipse, Earths shadow has a variegated edge due to its atmosphere

A M-2 solar flare with coronal mass ejection
June 7, 2011 - The Sun unleashes an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a spectacular coronal mass ejection. The large cloud of particles mushroomed up

Solar activity on the Sun
February 17, 2011 - Solar activity on the Sun. An X-class solar flare erupts from the suns active region. X-flares are the strongest type of solar flare

Magnetic field lines on the Sun
February 17, 2011 - Magnetic field lines on the Sun

Coronal holes on the Sun
January 20, 2013 - Image of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet light captures a heart-shaped dark coronal hole. Coronal holes are areas of the Suns surface that are the source of open magnetic field

A massive X-class solar flare erupts on the Sun
February 15, 2011 - Active region 1158 let loose with an X2.2 flare, the largest flare since 2006, and the biggest flare so far in Solar Cycle 24

The chromosphere, a fascinating layer of the Sun's atmosphere, is a spectacle to behold, and is here that solar prominences dance and swirl, creating mesmerizing displays of energy. These splendid solar spectacles are so grand that they can be seen from the moon itself. Intriguingly, one might mistake a gigantic UFO venting plasma from the Sun when witnessing these extraordinary events. But fear not, and is merely the result of intense solar activity on our magnificent star. As we observe closely, we witness a full sun with an abundance of sunspots and active regions in stunning 3D. The surface seems alive with magnetic field lines intertwining and shaping its fiery landscape. Suddenly, an M8. 7 class flare erupts on the Sun's surface, releasing immense amounts of energy into space. This close-up view allows us to marvel at the sheer power contained within this celestial body. But it doesn't stop there; another massive X2. 2 solar flare bursts forth in all its glory. Its intensity leaves us awestruck as we witness firsthand the raw force present in our nearest star. And finally, our attention turns to a close-up view of a solar eruptive prominence—a captivating display of plasma suspended above the chromosphere's surface like delicate tendrils reaching for infinity. The chromosphere truly offers us glimpses into the dynamic nature of our Sun—an ever-changing entity that never ceases to amaze us with its vibrant colors and explosive activities.
