It's so remarkable and beautiful that it almost doesn't seem real.

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. The flare captured is classified as "mid-level," which means it is 10 times less powerful than the most intense flares.

Just imagine seeing this from space...

Science is pretty cool.
