ON THE COVER

An extreme ultraviolet image of a large (X-class) solar flare that occurred on 7 March 2012, combining observations taken at 131 Å (blue) and 171 Å (yellow) using the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. This flare

disrupted radio communications on Earth. Predicting when X-class flares will occur will help to forecast Earth’s space weather. See pages 504 and 587. Credit: NASA/GSFC/SDO
