Sun - March 7, 2023
This image shows an approximative comparison between the Earth and the Sun. The Sun is about 109 times the size of the Earth.
This rough comparison shows the size of an eruption on March 7, 2023.
The solar eruption took place in the north hemisphere of the Sun, at around 40 degrees.
In this image, the northern hemisphere is up and the southern hemisphere down.
This image is in false colors. Combinaison with AIA335, AIA304 and AIA171
Observed by SDO on March 7, 2023 at a wavelength of 304 A, 335 A and 171 A.
The wavelength is ultraviolet for the sun. Earth is in visible light.
