antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov — On September 29, this magnificent eruptive solar prominence lifted away from the Sun's surface, unfurling into space over the course of several hours. Suspended in twisted magnetic fields, the hot plasma structure is many times the size of planet Earth and was captured in this view by the Sun-watching STEREO (Ahead) spacecraft.

So, when you are on the moon and take a picture, stars won't show in the background as it's 'too bright' there. But, they take a picture of the sun and there it is..... stars in the background, even one shining through the actual flare. Someone got an explanation for this?
