It’s #SunDay! This week’s (Nov. 28 - Dec. 4) space weather report includes: · 1 X-class flare · 9 M-class flares · 44 coronal mass ejections · 1 geomagnetic storm This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows the week’s activity. This week’s X-class flare, at about 1:23 in the video below, is particularly photogenic because of its location on the Sun’s limb, or edge. This positioning gave SDO a clear view of a suspended strand of solar plasma, known as a prominence, against the b
