English: The Sun emitted two strong solar flares, peaking at 4:48 a.m. and 2:36 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 1, 2024. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured images of the events. The first flare is classified as an X1.4 flare, and the second flare is classified as X1.0. The images show a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in blue and gold. Credit: NASA/SDO
