The event occurred in 2012, near the local maximum of sunspots that can be seen in this graph. At 02:08 UT on 23 July 2012, a large coronal mass ejection (CME) was launched from the Sun. [3] The eruption emanated from solar active region 11520 and coincided with what was at most an X2.5-class solar flare. [4]

A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere.Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena.
