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]
In the spectral class label, G2 indicates its surface temperature, of approximately 5770 K ( the UAI will accept in 2014 5772 K) and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy via fusing hydrogen into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses about 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second.
