Closeup of Solar 'Tadpoles' with time tags (2003)
2003 · Short film
Synopsis
Here is a close-up view of dark 'tentacles' or 'tadpoles' moving towards the solar surface in this solar flare of April 21, 2002 seen by TRACE. One theory proposed in this press release is that they are due to voids created by magnetic reconnection in the flare. This version of the visualization displays the instrument clock time tags. Note: This movie shows the dark 'tadpoles' forming as the active region develops. Animator: Tom Bridgman (GST). Scientist: Edward E. DeLuca (SAO), David McKenzie…
