Mid-Level Solar Flare Seen by NASA's SDO

Caption

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures images of the sun in many wavelengths of light at the same time, each of which is typically colorized in a different color. Each wavelength shows different aspects of the same event, as seen in these three images of a solar flare on March 12, 2014.
