NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this video of a solar flare — visible as a bright flash near the center left of the Sun — on Jan. 18, 2026. The video opens with observations from the spacecraft’s Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) 131-angstrom wavelength channel, which captures a narrow band of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in solar flares. This view is colorized in teal. The timestamp in the upper right is shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is five hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. In the second part of the video, the flare is shown simultaneously in three wavelengths, from left to right: 131, 171, and 304 angstroms. These channels are colorized in teal, gold, and red, respectively. The video ends with a full screen view of the AIA 171-angstrom channel.
