Dear friends,
I would like to present information from an unquestionable source, an article appeared in The Telegraph. It deals with solar flares, coronal mass ejections and other recurring phenomena. And what can be better than doing it by means of images of a never before seen quality?

Solar flares, coronal mass ejections and aurora borealis in pictures
In this X-ray photo provided by NASA, the sun is shown early in the morning of Sunday, August 1, 2010. The dark arc near the top right edge of the image is a filament of plasma blasting off the surface - part of the coronal mass ejection. The bright region is an unassociated solar flare. When particles from the eruption reach Earth on the evening of August 3-4, they may trigger a brilliant auroral display known as the Northern Lights
