NEW YORK: The biggest solar flare of the year went off just in time for Cinco de Mayo and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) managed to capture.
According to Gizmodo, images of the event were captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which was launched back in 2010 and has since been used by researchers to study the Sun.
The images taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory on May 5 at 6:11 PM EDT, show the different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light which were released by the solar flare. Changes in these wavelengths have revealed different temperatures.
