On 27 May 2024, the hyperactive sunspot region AR3664 announced its return to the Sun’s side facing Earth by sending out a class X2.9 flare and blasting out a large amount of material. The coronal mass ejection can be clearly seen in this video as a bright burst of material from the left side of the Sun.
This video combines images of the Sun taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory with coronagraph images taken by the ESA/NASA SOHO mission LASCO C2 (red) and C3 (blue) instruments. The bright spots to the right of the Sun are Jupiter and Venus.
