Tormentius Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hey everyone, so i saw this tweet from someone and I had some questions. Now this guy has made some hyperbolic statements in the past before, including one that I posted about on this forum. But I was just curious about filament eruptions because I don't know much about them. Could someone tell me some basics about them and some thoughts on this filament in particular.

Solution Jesterface23 Posted February 15, 2022 Solution Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) It isn't quite just one solar filament there. It is multiple. Two of them had erupted a little over a day prior to his image, so off the bat the image isn't 100% correct. Like solar flares, filaments can erupt any time at random. Some significant filament eruptions can come close to or reach the X-Ray M-class range. In solar imagery after they launch the region can sort of look like a really long solar flare. This may be the most commonly shown solar filament eruption from 2012 as an example, Others may have more info to share.
