Amazing, Rain of Fire in the Sun Recorded by NASA

Solar flares erupted on Tuesday (7/6) morning. Interestingly, the eruption did not cause the flames to the sky, but return to the sun, creating a rain-shaped crown.

Solar researchers from NASA, Jack Ireland, claimed to have never seen anything like this. Medium-sized eruption somewhat, but the plasma containing magnetic posed the so-called flame-sized filaments could be 10 times that of Earth. Eruption events that occur within a few hours.

Large filaments are usually independent of the magnetic field leads to the sun and outer space. Thus the explanation of NASA scientists, Alex Young. Only in the event this time, the filament back to the sun. "It may not have enough energy," he said.

The rain did not fall in plasma perpendicular to the sun, but to follow magnetic field lines are not visible. Some of the material attracted to the bright spots of magnetic activity, called the active area. "Field of the magnets that attract the active area of ​​the plasma. Something I had never seen before, "said Young.

The incident was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The incident itself will not have an effect on the Earth. "No need to worry. Just enjoy its beauty, "said Young.
