Flare Well AR2673
Explanation: Almost out of view from
our fair planet, rotating around the Sun's western edge giant active region
AR2673 lashed out with another intense solar flare followed by a large
coronal mass ejection on September 10. The flare itself is seen here at the right in an extreme ultraviolet image from the sun-staring Solar Dynamics Observatory. This intense flare was the fourth
X-class flare from
AR2673 this month. The active region's most recent associated coronal mass ejection collided with Earth's magnetosphere
2 days later. Say farewell to the mighty AR2673, for now. For the next two weeks, the powerful sunspot group will be on the Sun's
far side.
