Extremely bright, and with plenty of flare: meet the Sun

Dreamy colours spiralling into each other. It's false, colour; I know. But still. The close-up of the Sun's flare in the last 20 seconds of the video is simply mesmerising - it feels more like art than astronomy.

NASA's description of the video: 

'AIA multi-temperature images of eruption and flare - AIA: This movie shows a flare and blast wave from an eruption. The dark region is where the erupting material has evacuated. The sequences are made from combinations of different AIA wavebands into a single image, with different colors representing different temperatures and layers of the atmosphere.'
