Solar Flares

http://earthsky.org/space/first-notable-solar-flare-of-2015 👈



This week we started learning about the planets and stuff like that. One of the things we learned about were solar flares and prominences. A solar flare is when parts of the chromosphere erupt like a volcano. A prominence is when loops and fountains of blazing gasses leap out of the chromosphere reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers up into the corona. The cool thing about this is when you click the link above you will learn about the first solar flare of 2015 and this flare happend on a Monday, you might have heard about it, and if you haven't you might want to check it out!
