A flare on the star known as EV Lacertae
On April 25, 2008, NASAs Swift satellite picked up a record-setting flare from a star known as EV Lacertae. This flare was thousands of times more powerful than the greatest observed solar flare

Bright sun shining in the universe with starry background

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

Partial eclipse of the Sun

The turbulent surface of our Sun, showing prominences, sunspots and other features

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

A gas-giant exoplanet transiting across the face of its star
Scientists have reported the first conclusive discovery of water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet, or a planet beyond our solar system

An artists depiction of a solar eclipse. The moon obscures the sun with the suns corona still visible. Lens flares from light passing through the camera lens are also illustrated

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

Space Shuttle Atlantis is seen in silhouette against the Sun
May 12, 2009 - Space Shuttle Atlantis is seen in silhouette in the lower right of this solar transit. This image was taken from Florida using a telescope with a sun filter

Yellow Sun with solar prominences

H-alpha Sun in orange with active area

A dark rift in the suns atmosphere known as a coronal hole
An ultraviolet image of a dark rift in the suns atmosphere, known as a coronal hole. This is a vast region where the sunas magnetic field has opened up and allowed the solar wind to escape

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

Artists concept of a solar storm
Our very own Sun creates a solar storm every now and again. One of the side effects can be a disruption in telecommunications and an increase in the beautiful northern lights, the aurora borealis

H-alpha Sun with active area

Total solar eclipse
March 29, 2006 - Total solar eclipse from Libya

Solar Eclipse with diamond ring effect, Queensland, Australia

August 24, 2014 - A solar flare erupting on the left side of the Sun. This flare is classified as an M5 flare

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

"Captivating Solar Activity Unveils Nature's Dazzling Light Show" Witness the ethereal beauty as it paints the night sky with vibrant hues. From an enchanting aurora over Antarctica, captured by a satellite image, to the mesmerizing dance of the Aurora Borealis alongside a radiant moon, these celestial spectacles never fail to leave us in awe. The Northern Lights illuminate the darkness near Yellownife, showcasing their breathtaking display of colors that seem almost otherworldly. With each flicker and swirl, they create a celestial masterpiece that captivates all who are fortunate enough to witness them. Druridge Bay in the UK becomes a canvas for nature's most captivating brushstrokes as another spellbinding Aurora Borealis graces its shores. The vivid ribbons of light intertwine and stretch across the horizon, casting an enchanting glow upon everything they touch. These cosmic phenomena remind us of our planet's intricate connection with our star - the Sun. As solar particles interact with Earth's magnetic field, they produce this magnificent spectacle known as auroras, and is a reminder that even from millions of miles away, our Sun has profound effects on our world. So next time you find yourself gazing at the night sky or planning an adventure under its shimmering canopy, keep your eyes peeled for signs of solar activity.
