This sequence of frames shows the moment I caught a solar flare on my camera as I was imaging a large sunspot outbreak near a long, treelike prominence. I wanted to animate the surface and started recording blocks of images every 1 from 9 until 10 in the morning. When I retrieved my data, I was stunned to see the event I'd captured. I probably looked at that a million times not knowing what it was.
