NASA\u2019s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare \u2014 seen as the bright flash toward the upper middle \u2014 on Feb. 4, 2026. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in blue and red.<\/div>\n

This Feb. 4, 2026, image from NASA\u2019s Solar Dynamics Observatory<\/a> (SDO) captures a strong solar flare erupting from the star. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy that can, along with other types of solar eruptions, can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. The flare pictured was classified as an X4.2 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength.<\/p>\n

SDO measures the Sun\u2019s properties and solar activity to help us better understand the Sun\u2019s magnetic changes. By studying flares and how they affect our planet and nearby space, SDO helps us to better prepare for and deal with these potential disruptions.<\/p>\n
