Flare Region on the Sun - Liquid? (APOD 06 Nov 2007)
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:47 pm
I have two questions regarding the time lapse movie for the APOD on Nov 6.
First, does anyone know how big this thing is? I'm stunned at how fast it forms, especially if it's earth sized.
My second question is what the bright blob is at frame 1:15:02 that appears to be flying away from the sun? Does anyone know if this is hot plasma being ejected and if so how large is this?
I'm a newbie at discussion groups in general so hopefully I"m following protocol.
Thanks for any insight.
