Also from VT. We were wondering what the red spots we were seeing near the 5 oโclock position were. I had guessed they were flares, thanks for confirming.
For those that missed it, the flares & prominence were visible to the naked eye as red dots.
I read an article today in which they said that those were not flares but prominences. Equally neat, if you ask me. Each one of those spots was about 10 earths big, which is wild!!
