An Unusually Rare Phenomenon: A "Black" Flare Enveloped the Sun

A cloud of cold hydrogen covered a third of the solar disk

An unusual phenomenon has been recorded on the Sun. At midnight, scientists recorded a rare "black" flare. This was reported by the press service of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI and ISZF.

The explosion scattered a cloud of dense cold hydrogen across the solar disk. It spread over a distance of about a million km.

The dark, faintly luminous cold substance, observed against the background of a bright disk, created for several hours an amazing illusion of either a ghostly black flame dancing in the solar atmosphere, or a mysterious dark fog that enveloped a third of the solar disk for several hours.

By morning, there was no trace of the cold hydrogen. The cloud dissolved under the pressure of the solar heat.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the last class power flare occurred on December 8.
