Zoom in On a Solar Flare #shorts

Zooming in on solar flares is always an amazing experience.

I was very lucky to capture this picture of the sun. I only had 10 minutes before the clouds rolled in and a giant solar flare emerged. It stretches longer than the Earth.

There are also two sunspots. Sunspots are cooler areas of the sun and they look dark because they are not as hot and bright as the area around them.
