A close-up of a massive solar flare captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory ☀️🔥 Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation caused by the sudden release of magnetic energy near sunspots. They are the largest explosive events in our solar system, releasing up to 10²⁵ joules of energy and heating plasma to tens of millions of degrees. The most powerful flares can disrupt radio signals, satellites, and space missions. 🌍⚡ #SolarFlare #Sun #NASA #Space #Astronomy #Unova #Science #SpaceFacts
