On Monday, during the total solar eclipse, many fans took pictures of solar flares.As a total solar eclipse rushed across the nation on Monday, North America was plunged into a chilling midday darkness. The moon briefly obscured the sun over the country, causing street lights to flash on and the planets to become visible. Amidst the eclipse frenzy engulfing Mexico, the United States, and Canada, dogs barked, frogscroaked, and some people started crying.
As the moon eclipsed the sun on Monday, the sun reached the “solar maximum” in its 11-year cycle. During this phase, the sun produced more coronal mass ejections (large plasma bubbles with magnetic field lines) and solar flares.Just before totality, a couple of solar flares were visible in the images and videos that were taken.The most powerful explosive occurrences in the solar system, solar flares are caused by the release of magnetic energy from sunspots, which results in tremendous bursts of radiation.”Never witnessed solar flares with such protrusion. It seems you could fit hundreds of earths inside one of those.”Certified Broadcast Meteorologist Jim Cantore wrote about X.
