The Verge has published a photo gallery of fascinating images provided by NASA. I've picked this one as a sampler of the whole, and reduced it to fit this blog. It's of a coronal mass ejection (related to a 'solar flare') from the Sun on August 31st last year, showing the Earth to scale against the enormous size of the eruption (which is well over a million miles in height).
Click over to the photo gallery to see it at full size (four times larger than shown here), and check out the rest of the images while you're at it. Amazing!
