admin

DALLAS — Scientists are starting to figure out what causes tiny eruptions on the sun called campfire flares.

Campfires were discovered in 2020, when the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter probe snapped closeup photos of our parent star and spotted diminutive flickers of ultraviolet light (SN: 7/16/20).

Researchers investigated the ability of these artefacts to absorb ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation – which is affected by burning.

They compared the results to those from similar unburnt materials, and concluded
