The last flare of the period, on September 10, was "the most exciting," he added. > "The sunspot region was just passing over the solar limb—the edge of the Sun as it rotates—and we could see the comparative height of the flare in many different wavelengths, from optical, to ultraviolet, to X-rays, to radio," he recounted. "This view provided a wonderful chance to capture the structure of a large solar flare with all of its ingredients."
