IMG * How Big are Solar Flares' Eruptions? (Share link: http://d.ro/bigeruption )
Note: Closed Captioning (CC - subtitles) avail.
This brief entertaining and informative video answers the question!

MOV *

The source video for this prominence eruption and associated M3.6 class flare comes from NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO): http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/548...
The clip was recorded over a period of 90 minutes in 24 second intervals.
Per NASA: "This particular eruption was not directed toward Earth. If it were, the material released and its imprinted magnetic field might have triggered a geomagnetic storm, with bright auroras and the potential for disturbance in communications and electrical power networks."

For further information about the February 24, 2011 event featured in this video see this page: http://geeked.gsfc.nasa.gov/?p=5651

    I added subtitles to the video. Click 'CC' and then select Japanese and YouTube will translate what I say.
