Several media outlets have incorrectly claimed that explosive solar flares were spotted during the April 8 total solar eclipse. But there were no flares during totality, so what did people see?
No, you didn't see a solar flare during the total eclipse — but you may have seen something just as special : Read more
Hello, I have read your article and I believe your information isn't perfect .
My reason for this , is the ''pink'' colour is more towards 750nm than 450nm .
''During totality, some observers saw red dots around the obscured sun. Detailed photos of these dots revealed they were actually
plasma, including a particularly large, fiery plume on the sun's southwest limb''
I wouldn't have called it Plasma because the light isn't dense enough to be Plasma .
Anyway what you saw was the ''backdraft'' from the moon that in turn increased the magnitude of other areas of the sun . This process then caused Gravity-B to increase in those areas , which in turn created twisters of the ''soup'' .
In simple terms if you block a thermal current , the thermal energy has to find another way out . So when there is a traffic jam , its starts to take side streets .
Just pinch your skin , then you will see .
P.s If the camera didn't invert the image , the moon was going right to left instead of left to right when I see it . That would be odd unless I was wrong about the Sun and the Sun moved left to right . This astronomy malarkey is good fun , like a puzzle .
Added - But if the sun was travelling left to right and the moon travels left to right , that would mean the sun would have to overtake the moon and the moon was out in the daytime . Confused myself now .
