Solar Orbiter Reveals How Solar Flares Really Begin

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun. Like snow avalanches that start with a small shift before rapidly growing, new observations show that solar flares begin with weak magnetic disturbances that intensify quickly. Scientists using the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft found that these early […]Space,European Space Agency,Solar Flares,Solar Orbiter,Sun#Solar #Orbiter #Reveals #Solar #Flares1769555239
