Catching Fire
|
Hinode XRT observed this unnamed region for several days back in early August 2016. At the beginning of the movie there is a brilliant flash of X-rays and the area quickly dims with periodic flashes of light until all that is left is a few dim loops. But then a small dot of X-rays appears and grows brighter until it saturates XRT's camera. Newly emerged magnetic flux caused this seemingly tired region to catch fire showing it was full of vim an vigor.
