NASA | The Best Observed X-class Flare

The video discusses a significant solar flare observed by multiple NASA and ground-based observatories. Each observatory captured different aspects of the flare, providing a comprehensive view. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured images of the entire sun, while Iris and RESY focused on specific layers and temperatures. Hinode's X-Ray telescope showed material progression through the sun's atmosphere. The combined data from these observations will enhance understanding of solar flares and aid future discoveries.
