The sun released a strong #SolarFlare yesterday, Aug. 7, and @NOAA's #SUVI instrument onboard #GOESEast caught the event.

The bright flare can be seen at the top right of the sun and created temporary radio blackouts on the sunlit side of Earth.

.@NOAA's #SUVI instrument onboard #GOESEast spotted a strong #SolarFlare yesterday.

The bright flare created temporary radio blackouts on the sunlit side of Earth and can be seen in this imagery just below the center of the sun. ✨

The Solar Ultraviolet Imager (#SUVI) on @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ caught the #SolarFlare eruptions on the sun from March 22-23. Learn more about this strong flare event from @NWSSWPC. https://t.co/3S8ChBnFGp

This is a video summary of the 22 March solar flares, coronal mass ejection (CME), and eventual CME arrival at Earth on 24 March - with resultant geomagnetic storms. The CME progression continues at this time. https://t.co/u5FeeSMzGp - NOAA Space Weather

RT @GOESguy: Agreed, and it might be safer if it's not headed for Earth! A @NOAASatellites SUVI #GOESEast RGB view: https://t.co/W5nucQDWXG over the last day or so. https://t.co/EsqeWT3ClZ

In my opinion, solar flares above the edge of the Sun are far more visually impressive than those seen straight down. This is this morning’s #SolarFlare, where a view against the dark background allows us to see features like coronal rain (yellow) & Supra-Arcade Downflows (cyan)! https://t.co/okmfjJ0FLj - Dr. Ryan French
