A full-disk extreme ultraviolet visualization of the Sun rendered in a brilliant, textured cyan-teal hue against a black background. The solar surface is covered in intricate, mottle patterns with darker filimentary structures and multiple smaller bright active regions. On the lower-left edge, a blindingly bright white-cyan eruption—a long-duration M-class solar flare—is actively exploding from the limb, with brilliant hot plasma and detailed magnetic loops extending into the void of space, originating from a region just beyond the Sun's edge.
