Astronomy:Ellerman bombs
From HandWiki
Short description: Brightenings in the Sun's chromosphere
Ellerman bombs are small-scale brightenings in the Sun's lower chromosphere. They typically take place in areas with strong magnetic fields and near emerging flux regions.[1] They are named after Ferdinand Ellerman[2] who studied them in detail in the 20th century. The phenomenon was first reported by W. M. Mitchell in early 1900.[3] Although Ellerman first described them in 1917,[4] the physical mechanism behind them is still debated.
