On Aug. 24, 2014, the sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 8:16 a.m.
EDT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the flare, which
erupted on the left side of the sun. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation.
Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to
physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they
can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals
travel. This flare is classified as an M5 flare. M-class flares are ten times less
powerful than the most intense flares, called X-class flares.

Hubble Looks at Light and Dark in the Universe

This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a variety of
intriguing cosmic phenomena. Surrounded by bright stars, towards the
upper middle of the frame we see a small young stellar object (YSO)
known as SSTC2D J033038.2+303212. Located in the constellation of
Perseus, this star is in the early stages of its life and is still forming
into a fully-grown star. In this view from Hubble’s Advanced Camera
for Surveys(ACS)
It appears to have a murky chimney of material emanating outwards
and downwards, framed by bright bursts of gas flowing from the fledgling
star is actually surrounded by a bright disk of material swirling around it
as it forms — a disc that we see edge-on from our perspective.

However, this small bright speck is dwarfed by its cosmic neighbor towards
the bottom of the frame, a clump of bright, wispy gas swirling around as it
appears to spew dark material out into space. The bright cloud is a
reflection nebula known as [B77] 63, a cloud of interstellar gas that is
reflecting light from the stars embedded within it. There number of bright
stars within [B77] 63, most notably the emission-line star LkHA 326, and
it nearby neighbor LZK 18.

These stars are lighting up the surrounding gas and sculpting it into the
wispy shape seen in this image. However, the most dramatic part of the
image seems to be a dark stream of smoke piling outwards from [B77] 63
and its stars — a dark nebula called Dobashi 4173. Dark nebulae are
incredibly dense clouds of pitch-dark material that obscure the patches of
sky behind them, seemingly creating great rips and eerily empty chunks
of sky. The stars speckled on top of this extreme blackness actually lie
between us and Dobashi 4173.
