Astronomers Capture Rare and Eerie Black Emission on Sun

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Astronomers have captured a rare phenomenon on video — a plasma ejection from the surface of the Sun. The footage became available on January 23 on the website of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.



The video shows dark matter emanating from the Sun, after which it dissipates around the star.

“A very rare, beautiful and even slightly eerie phenomenon occurred today on our star,” the scientists noted in the publication.

They explained that this visual effect is produced by neutral hydrogen, which is capable of almost completely absorbing short-wavelength radiation falling on it from behind.

On January 4, scientists recorded five M-class solar flares and two more of the highest level, X. This phenomenon leads to emissions of solar plasma, the clouds of which, reaching the Earth, provoke magnetic storms on the planet.

The first flare of the highest X-class in 2025 was recorded on the Sun on January 3. Scientists noted that the energy release process was observed for 25 minutes.
