wow, those red flares are something else
20 0 ReplyI'm curious why they appear. The filter or camera optics maybe?

Holy shit - that bit at 5 o'clock was a solar flare?!?! I could see that with no magnification whatsoever! Amazing!
17 0 ReplyIt was a prominence, not a flare. A flare escapes the sun's magnetic field while a prominence does not.
10 0 ReplyFair enough. I'm no astro-smith
11 0 ReplyFlares cause CME, and CME would appear like a prominence. CME and prominences are thought to be linked somehow, we're not totally sure yet.

I uploaded some of my video to YouTube but I don’t know where to post it.
16 0 ReplyAbsolutely incredible, well done having that much definition on those solar prominences as well.

"The moon went in front of the sun!"
"Yes, Brian. It's called an eclipse-"
"But the suns bigger than the moon!"
8 0 ReplyAnyone else notice the divit at the bottom? I saw it real time but wasn't sure if it was just my perspective. Seems like it showed here too.
By divit, I'm talking about an itty bit of sun showing at the bottom.
Is it a larger crater on the moon? Light refraction cause by the gravity of the moon?
9 1 ReplyI viewed from the Perot Museum in Dallas and the announcement came on that it may have been a solar flare that was visible to the naked eye (due to the eclipse).
14 0 ReplyI watched some of the nasa livestream since I don’t have eyewear in a ~96% area, and it’s total overcast anyway. They basically said it’s a
CME (or flare?)edit: “solar prominence”, and not surprising due to the sun being near the most active phase of its 11-year cycle.Pretty cool that one made such a clear appearance. If you search for solar flare, you’ll see images of that similar arch visible in the photo. Must have been amazing to see one with the naked eye.

You talking about Bailey's beads or the little red "pimple" looking thing on the bottom?
Bailey's beads are caused by the not-smooth lunar surface letting light pass in irregular ways.
That little red bit was possibly a solar flare.
5 0 ReplyWe noticed and I was able to focus our amateur telescope.... It was incredible, like a neon sign extending from the sun
4 0 ReplyProbably a software or deployment bug. Some asshole fucked up our rolling update of this shard. Won’t see another update in quite awhile

4 0 ReplyI have a 10x monocular that I brought, the flare was super bright. The way the colors muted leading up was super eerie
