skysignal: Image courtesy SDO/NASA. A solar flare on June 7 unleashed a massive eruption on the sun—perhaps the biggest ever recorded, scientists say. The solar flare itself—an unusually bright spot on the sun—was only a “moderate” event. Space observatories in the past year recorded about 70 such solar flares, each roughly ten times weaker than “extreme” flares, of which only two have occurred since 2007. To put this into perspective, Earth in that image would be smaller than the letter o here :B
