High quality footage of a solar flare erupting from the Sun's surface

On April 17, 2016, an active region on the sun's right side released a mid-level solar flare, captured here by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. This solar flare caused moderate radio blackouts, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Scientists study active regions - which are areas of intense magnetism to better understand why they sometimes erupt with such flares. This video was captured in several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, a type of light that is typically invisible to our eyes, but is color-coded in SDO images for easy viewing.

On April 10th, The Secrets Of The Universe began a series of 30 articles named "Basics Of Astrophysics" on their website to mark the anniversary of 1st black hole image.

This series features a total of 30 articles posted every alternate day. Beginning from - "What is Astrophysics?", It explore various aspects of this amazingly broad field. From stars to galaxies, nebulae to black holes it will cover almost everything in this subject. Not only that, but some of the articles are also dedicated to the technical aspects of this subject, such as - the concept of magnitude, the Hertzsprung Russell diagram, the celestial coordinate system, etc. There is something for every reader in this series.

Currently, the series is on the 19th article and you can read it all here:

Later today SpaceX will launch the second demonstration mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station.

This mission will be the first crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011.

DM-2 demonstrates the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon's ability to safely transport crew to and from the space station. The booster for this mission will land on OCISLY.

The mission will be complete with the safe return the Dragon capsule and astronauts.
