Rare Emission of Black Plasma with Neutral Hydrogen Recorded on the Sun

[Regnum] A rare emission of black plasma with neutral hydrogen was recorded on the Sun. This was reported on January 22 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"A very rare, beautiful and even slightly eerie phenomenon occurred today on our star. Right in the center of the visible disk, a ghostly structure of a distinctly black color formed, and then was partially ejected into space, and partially dissipated in the corona. Honestly, it is simply very beautiful, and even knowing what it is, it is still difficult to shake off some kind of mystical feeling," the laboratory's website says.

IKI RAS specialists explained that such colors are produced by neutral hydrogen, which is capable of almost completely absorbing short-wavelength radiation falling on it from behind.

According to scientists, the flare most likely ejected and scattered a cold prominence with a large amount of neutral hydrogen across the Sun's corona, as a result of which the prominence's substance was completely destroyed and disappeared.

“But while this process was going on, for about three hours a black cloud of plasma was observed in the corona, living and spreading along the magnetic lines,” the scientists noted.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on January 1, the Earth was engulfed by a magnetic storm that reached the G3 level, classified as “strong” on the five-point scale of the Institute of Applied Geophysics. Possible problems with satellite systems and radio communications were reported, and residents of mid-latitudes could see the polar lights in the sky.

On January 4, scientists recorded five M-class solar flares and two more of the highest level, X. Class M is considered the fourth most powerful. Flares usually result in emissions of solar plasma, clouds of which, reaching the Earth, are capable of provoking magnetic storms on the planet.
