Earth Magnetosphere on pressure

Artist Impression of the magnetosphere of Earth
Since i know about the magnetic field of our planet i'm deeply impresses how it protect us from the incoming solar wind. This drawing was done using scintific data of pressure measurements.

Biggest solar flare of 2014

X4.9-class solar flare viewed with AIA 304 ::  25. February 2014  ::  Image Credit: NASA/SDO
Massive X4.9-class solar flare: a coronal mass ejection (CME), a giant burst of plasma
at an expansion velocity near 2,000 km/s (measurement of Radio emissions from shock waves)

The sun is currently in the active phase of its 11-year solar cycle.

Solar Storms supercharge Earth's northern lights.

activity atop a pillar of gas and dust, three light-years high, absorbed by the brilliant light from nearby bright stars. 

infant stars inside the pillar expulse jets of gas streaming from towering peaks.

Carina Nebula,  7500 light-years away, southern constellation of Carina

radiation and fast winds (streams of charged particles) from hot newborn stars in the nebula are shaping and compressing the pillar, causing new stars to form within it. Streamers of hot ionised gas can be seen flowing off the ridges of the structure, and wispy veils of dust, illuminated by starlight, float around its peaks. The pillar is resisting being eroded by radiation.
Nestled inside this dense mountain are fledgling stars. Long streamers of gas can be seen shooting in opposite directions from the pedestal at the top of the image. Another pair of jets is visible at another peak near the centre of the image. These jets are the signpost for new starbirth. The jets are launched by swirling discs around the stars, as these discs allow material to slowly accrete onto the stellar surfaces.

Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 observed the pillar on 1-2 February 2010. The colours in this composite image correspond to the glow of oxygen (blue), hydrogen and nitrogen (green) and sulphur (red).   20th anniversary of Hubble's launch and deployment into Earth orbit.

Deflecting light from the Big Bang

deflected by the gravitational lensing effect of massive cosmic structures
as they travel across the Universe.

Gravitational lensing creates tiny, additional distortions to the mottled pattern of the CMB temperature fluctuations. Planck cosmologists have extracted a map of this gravitational lensing effect covering the whole sky for the first time, providing a new way to probe the evolution of structure in the Universe over time.
