For the first time ever, NASA has been able to capture a massive solar eruption with unprecedented detail using Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), a highly sensitive instrument that can only cover a relatively small zone of the Sun at any give time. Catching this involved "some educated guesses and a little bit of luck."

The video made by the IRIS is impressive. Keep in mind that the video is covering an area "five Earth's wide and about seven and a half Earth's tall."
