These Are the Best Images Ever Taken of an X-Class Solar Flare

These Are the Best Images Ever Taken of an X-Class Solar Flare: "NASA on Wednesday released gorgeous new photos of an X-class solar flare that erupted from the right side of the sun in late March. NASA often catches glimpses of solar flares, but this one was unique because four different NASA spacecraft, along with one ground-based observatory, were all watching a specific spot on the sun at that specific time. Three out of the four instruments, in fact, had been programmed a day in advance to focus on the very spot where the flare erupted from, according to NASA."
