Keep an eye on the area above left of center. That’s where visitors to the Observatory saw a mild C-class flare [s.si.edu/1dwdU5b] yesterday. Another flare could happen today. A solar flare heats up the bright clouds around the sunspot group, making them appear even brighter for about 5 to 15 minutes. This live view of the Sun comes to you from a hydrogen-alpha telescope at the Phoebe Waterman Haas Public Observatory at the Museum in DC.
