NASA. Solar observation. M9.2-class solar flare. 2015. With remarkable visual intensity, this photograph captures a spectacular M9.2-class solar flare, observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite. The powerful flash illuminating the edge of the Sun reveals a release of energy of rare intensity, while the fiery hues highlight the extremely hot gases in its atmosphere. The balance of the composition and the richness of detail lend this image an almost artistic quality. An iconic work that powerfully conveys the might of solar magnetism and the fascinating beauty of our star. Vintage chromogenic print. Caption on label on the back. 25.4 x 20.4 cm with margins.
