The sun erupted with an X1.7-class solar flare on May 12, 2013. The flare appears as the bright point on the left of the sun in this full disk view NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. It is a blend of two images of the sun recorded at different wavelengths of light.
UPDATE: The sun has fired off a second X-class solar flare.
