ALT This ultraviolet imagery of the Sun from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows an aqua-colored disk on a black background. Solar Active Region 13164 is visible near the lower left limb - what we see as the edge in this two-dimensional representation of a round star. This active region is firing off a hefty flare, which appears whiter and brighter in color than seemingly less-active regions. Smaller flares are visible erupting from the upper left limb and the lower right center. The aqua-colored swirls covering and erupting from the surface of the Sun hint at its dynamic state and give the image a texture that almost appears in-motion. The image is labeled with the date and time: Jan 09, 2023 18:50:42 TAI.
