Summary

Description
English: The Sun unleashed an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME) on June 7, 2011. The large cloud of particles mushroomed up and fell back down looking as if it covered an area of almost a quarter of the solar surface. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observed the flare's peak at 1:41 AM ET. SDO recorded these images in extreme ultraviolet light that show a very large eruption of cool gas.
Français : Le 7 juin 2011, une éruption solaire de taille moyenne (M-2) provoque une éjection coronaire spectaculaire. L'énorme nuage de particules semble recouvrir le quart de la surface solaire. Le Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) a observé l'éruption à 1 h 41 min ET. Le SDO a enregistré ces images dans l'ultraviolet extrême, ce qui permet de voir une énorme éruption de gas frais.
