wow, those red flares are something else
20ReplyI'm curious why they appear. The filter or camera optics maybe?
4ReplyThose are solar flares.
Here's a snapshot from seven years ago: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/588869-eclipse-solar-flares-from-oregon/
15ReplyI saw them with the naked eye

Holy shit - that bit at 5 o'clock was a solar flare?!?! I could see that with no magnification whatsoever! Amazing!
17ReplyIt was a prominence, not a flare. A flare escapes the sun's magnetic field while a prominence does not.
10ReplyFair enough. I'm no astro-smith
11ReplyFlares 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.
16ReplyAbsolutely incredible, well done having that much definition on those solar prominences as well.
10ReplyAnyone 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?
8ReplyI 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).
14ReplyI 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.
5ReplyProbably a software or deployment bug. Some asshole fucked up our rolling update of this shard. Won’t see another update in quite awhile
1ReplyTwenty years from what I heard! Man, what kind of schedule is that?!?

This title seems like something straight out of a Brian Regan skit.
"The moon went in front of the sun!"
"Yes, Brian. It's called an eclipse-"
"But the suns bigger than the moon!"
8ReplyBeautiful shot m8
4Replyreally fantastic photo. it looks amazing
4ReplyI have a 10x monocular that I brought, the flare was super bright. The way the colors muted leading up was super eerie
3ReplyWhat, really? Why didn't I hear anything about this?
3ReplyMy sunsketcher app failed at the worst time. 😭
I was gonna help NASA.
2ReplyThat's just the sophon playing tricks on us
2ReplyI don't believe you.
-2ReplySo, I've been at work all day. Did the sky fall? Did Jesus come back? No? Told ya.
