What kind of flare can you see on the Sun?
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this imagery of a solar flare, as seen in the bright flash. A loop of solar material, a coronal mass ejection (CME), can also be seen rising up off the right limb of the Sun. Solar flares are sometimes accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME for short).
What happens when a solar flare hits the Earth?
Solar flares are sometimes accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME for short). CMEs are huge bubbles of radiation and particles from the Sun. They explode into space at very high speed when the Sun’s magnetic field lines suddenly reorganize.
How are sunspots and solar flares related?
Solar flares are a sudden explosion of energy caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines near sunspots. The surface of the Sun is a very busy place. It has electrically charged gases that generate areas of powerful magnetic forces. These areas are called magnetic fields.
What’s the difference between a relapse and a flare up?
An exacerbation of MS (also known as a relapse, attack or flare-up) is the occurence new symptoms or the worsening of old symptoms. It can be very mild, or severe enough to interfere with a person’s ability to function at home and at work.

What does it mean when a lens flare is visible?
Aside from the visible veiling flare visible in the images, you can also see various circular artifacts/orbs in each image – those are referred to as “ghosts”. The total number of these ghosts varies by how many elements there are within each lens.
When does veiling flare occur in a picture?
Veiling flare usually occurs when the bright light source is outside the lens angle of view, i.e. absent from the image, but its light rays still reach the front element of the lens. This results in very noticeable haze/lack of contrast, where dark areas of the frame become brighter with bleeding colors and appear washed out.
