A shower of high-energy particles appeared as specks and white streaks on the imagers aboard NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric. On December 13, 2006, the Sun unleashed a large solar flare and a stream of particles (a coronal mass ejection) that appears to be headed towards Earth. This image covers an area about five miles (8.1 kilometers) across. The outflow of energy and particles is called a solar storm. Please do not reproduce or distribute without permission.
