The US National Space Agency Nasa has published a video of a violent solar flare on Instagram.
The event – a bright glow and a fireball detached from the stars – had been recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
With the help of the observatory, NASA can investigate the influence of solar radiation on the Earth’s atmosphere. The changing solar activity and its effect on the work of various technological systems on Earth will also be observed.
The time-lapse recording was created from a two-hour video recording.
