Deeper Look – Episode 41

The standard explanation for how a hyder flare comes about after a filament release has never made sense to me. I always preferred a different explanation…

Think about it… if the falling plasma were the flare cause, why would they be so adamant than a comet could not do the same? The falling plasma is usually missing, and its presence never seems to be the deciding factor in the size of the hyder flare. This will be something to watch going forward.
