Our Sun-watching Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite captured these views of a brilliant solar flare and eruption of material on Nov. 29.

From its foot point over the limb, some of the light and energy was blocked from reaching Earth – a little like seeing light from a lightbulb with the bottom half covered up. Also visible in the imagery is an eruption of solar material that achieved escape velocity and moved out into space as a giant cloud of gas and magnetic fields known as a coronal mass ejection, or CME.

While the solar material didn’t head toward Earth, it did pass by some spacecraft: @NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, NASA’s STEREO and @europeanspaceagency/NASA’s Solar Orbiter. Equipped to measure magnetic fields and the particles that pass over them, we may be able to study fast-moving solar energetic particles in the observations once they are downloaded.
