Space Weather - An M-Class Solar Flare
Our Sun recently emitted a mid-level solar flare, known as an M-class flare, that peaked on June 25, 2015. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event. The SDO helps us understand ‘Space Weather‘ and gather useful data that will help us protect spacecraft and future Astronauts from dangerous radiation.
