 A beautiful video of a solar eruption, also known as a solar flare, captured here by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. What a spectacle, everyone.

Watch that prominence rise tens of thousands of kilometers, then curve and fall back onto the solar chromosphere, pulled by the immense gravity of our star.
