Sun flare in HD

    Here is a short video clip of the last sun solar flare that went off on the 2nd of this month.
 And NASA says that this just marks the start of a long, crazy solar storm season.

 The Sun goes through a regular activity cycle that lasts about 11 years, cycling between activity (solar maximum) and quiet (solar minimum). The last solar maximum was in 2001 followed by a long period of very little activity. The eruptions are among the first signs that the Sun is waking up and beginning to move towards another solar maximum, expected to occur in about 2013.
