A „magnetic avalanche“ on the #Sun! At the end of 2024, ESA’s #SolarOrbiter was lucky to witness a strong solar #flare – and observed the events leading up to this firework with unprecedented precision. Apparently, small restructuring processes in the Sun's magnetic field build up like an avalanche – and then discharge explosively.

#ESA ’s and #JAXA ’s upcoming space mission #RAMSES, which will rendezvous with near-Earth #asteroid #Apophis in 2029, has a new website. Find information about the mission, science and the instrument #RPS contributed by #mpsgoettingen here: https://www.ramsesmission.space/

And here's a video of the flare!

‪Here are some great shots from our #GREGORSolarTelescope observation campaign in July. Peering into the #photosphere and #chromosphere, we caught several emerging active regions – and a #flare! This will help us study the plasma dynamics in active regions and how energy builds up to create a flare.

Hoping for a #flare: During the final days of our 2 week observation campaign with #GREGORSolarTelescope on Tenerife, scientists work remote from the “GREGOR Operations Center” at #MPSGoettingen and zoom in on a recently emerged active region that looks promising. Thanks for all the support onsite!
