Stunning view of a solar flare

On April 17, 2016, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured this stunning view of a mid-level solar flare (bright flash of light). These eruptions are powerful bursts of radiation which are harmful to humans. However, our atmosphere protect us from being harmed. The main issue these bursts cause is disruptions to communications and GPS. This image is a handout from NASA
