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.
