CaneTalk: HAIR-RAISING SOLAR ACTIVITY

HAIR-RAISING SOLAR ACTIVITY

Posted by JAC on 6/7/2011, 5:25 am

Over the past few days, amateur astronomers have recorded some of the most photogenic solar activity in years.

Onlookers describe huge prominences of magnetized plasma rising above the stellar surface as "Unbelievable!"--"Hydrogen at its best"--"Massive and incredible!"

This shot was simply hair-raising:

Alan Friedman took the picture from his backyard observatory in Buffalo, New York, on June 5th.

"There are more to come," he promises. And why not?

The show is still underway.

Latest images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory reveal at least three regions of continued activity.
