Anyone here remember seeing a white light flare at a Harmon's Sun party many years ago? I remember seeing the flare develop. I'd never seen a white light flare before (or since) and for a moment wondered if something very bad was about to happen. It didn't take long and the flare ran its course. But it was an impressive site while it lasted. If memory serves, such a flare was seen just before the Carrington (sp?) Event back in the 1850s but I don't remember a similar thing happening after the flare I saw. patrick On 29 Mar 2013, at 15:38, Chuck Hards wrote:
You actually saw a flare? White-light, or H-a? I've never seen a visual solar flare in my life.
Did you have the Drum Bus this year? ;-)

Dad, me, and another guy who's name escapes me right now (Brad?) spent the day at my daughter's school doing solar observing with the kids.
The sun is really active right now, nots of prominences, flares, spots, etc. if you can, it's good viewing right now.
