Aug. 3, 2010 -- On Sunday, the sun underwent a complex magnetic eruption triggered by a flare near a sunspot (designated "sunspot 1092"). Space observatories were able to see the C3-class flare, causing a filament (an extended loop of magnetic field lines filled with cooler plasma) 100,000 kilometers away to erupt at the same time.
It turns out that sunspot 1092 is such a prominent dark feature on the solar photosphere that it can also be seen on Earth, at sunrise, without having to use a special solar filter or telescope.
