- description: This movie from NASA's SDO shows a solar flare — the bright light on the left side of the sun — on July 8, 2014. An eruption of solar material can also be seen arcing up and away. After it left the sun, this became a coronal mass ejection, a giant cloud of solar material, headed toward Mars. SDO images the sun in select wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light. Each wavelength corresponds to a different temperature material — and different region — of the sun. The wavelengths are measured in Angstroms (Å) and each wavelength is color coded. Gold is showing 171 Angstroms, red is 304 Angstroms, and teal is 131 Angstroms. What is a solar flare? What is a CME?
