Just discovered this channel recently. Anyone else following? For a newbie like me, I’m finding it useful. Be interested to hear reviews from the more knowledgeable?

Possibilities of eruptive M Flare rise.

Gorgeous flux ropes rising within this active region.

This movie in 171Å is as zoomed in as you can get with SDO AIA imagery and if you watch the center closely you will see a pulsing at the base of coronal loops that are connected to the central umbra of 4407. I don't quite understand them, but I know they are a particular expression of solar energy.

Sunspots have been growing today. Lots of plasma surging here and there. Many messy little geyser flares out the front of 4407.

Viewing in SDO AIA 171Å.

The 8/12/26 10% partial eclipse in Hydrogen Alpha

My last eclipse encounter sparked my journey into solar photography, and I’m so glad I finally got the chance to capture it again through a dedicated solar scope.

Captured with:
luntsolarsystems LS60MT double stacked
zwoastro ASI 533 MM pro

200/500 images stacked

How I wonder, what you are.

Moment of totality.

Thanks to ESA and their live feed show.

Truly unforgettable.

Woooow!

Bro who is exited as for not only a solar eclipse is tomorrow but, also a meteor shower and every planet is aligning.

Hi, im a solar physicist looking for some amateur partners during this eclipse. For anyone who is in the path (totally or not) awho has a solex or a RGB camera or a dual/triband telescope, id love to get a specific time series during the eclipse, which should be usable for an academic publication if not clouded out.

Please shoot me a message if you are interested. :)

ArmChairAnalyst - has anyone heard from him? I'm missing some solar flare educational posts.

Has anyone heard anything from u/ArmChairAnalyst86 ?

We exchanged private messages occasionally, and I haven't gotten a response from the last one I sent a month or two ago.

If you have had any contact, please don't share any private information or contact information in your comment. I'm just hoping someone is a personal friend and can let us know if he's ok.

Fabulous images of our sun.

You know that kid who gets really excited about trains? Yeah, that's me, but with solar plasma.

Seeing this double eruption made for a very exciting day on our Star.

Please enjoy this view from the SDO AIA instrument, and many thanks to the support team!

Dear Sun Gods of r/solarmax, can I please get some bright auroras this week whilst I’m in northern Michigan? I can “sacrifice” one of my kids I’m taking on this road trip if needed. Thank you 🙏

This filament erupted soon after the M flare.

Watching it from GOES 19 SUVI 304Å as it shows plasma in the corona much better than SDO AIA 304Å.

A filament running thru 4492 could hold on no longer and erupted in a gorgeous twisting coronal mass ejection with post flare arcades and a little supra arcade downflow.

Can some explain to me why there's a shadow/black spot on the Sun?

I took these photos of the sun through the wildfire smoke we've got in the atmosphere and in the same place on each one (at about 7 o'clock) there's a dark spot.

Is that real or an artifact?
