DescriptionX5.4 solar flare seen by SDO in 131 Å extreme ultraviolet light.jpg |
The powerful March 7, 2012 solar flare, which earned a classification of X5.4 based on the peak intensity of its X-rays, is the strongest eruption so far observed by Fermi's LAT. The flare produced such an outpouring of gamma rays — a form of light with even greater energy than X-rays — that the Sun briefly became the brightest object in the gamma-ray sky. See this NASA video for more information about X5.4 and the process behind solar flares producing gamma rays. This is a full disk image of the flare in 131 angstrom extreme ultraviolet light. |
