Here is an update to the Solar Storm event that occurred a few days ago...
Kerry
The sun unleashed its most powerful solar eruption in more than three years on Sunday (Nov. 29).
The solar flare, which is a sudden, bright explosion of electromagnetic energy, measured as an M4.4 on the scale astronomers use for sun storms. M-class flares are medium-sized eruptions (compared to small C-class flares and large X-class flares) and rank on a scale from 1 to 9, with larger numbers representing stronger flares.
The M4.4 flare's bright burst was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, which can often accompany solar flares. Coronal mass ejections are large releases of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun's corona, or its outermost layer.

NOTES: You will note that light filters are being used to watch this in several different wave lengths of light... Measurement is in Angstroms...
An Angstrom is a noun and is equal to a unit of length equal to one hundred-millionth of a centimeter, 10−10 meter, used mainly to express wavelengths and interatomic distances. You will see the different filter color in one of the video views...
How many people have actually seen Our Sun in the brilliance of this video presentation... Not many, in fact, there have only been 5,338 views since Dec 5, 2020..., so you folks are among the first...
Enjoy my Brothers and Sisters!

Excellent astronomy pictures brother Sgt (Join to see) , really neat in the different colors.

The video is very impressive, Brother David... and the images basically just show the three filters that were used... The different filters allow maximum viewing of the gasses blowing off into space...
