This spectacular video released by Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) of NASA shows a plasma rain on our Sun’s surface. This plasma rain caused by mid-level solar flare emanating powerful radiations.
According to NASA, the flare was seen as a bright flash of light in the horizon of solar surface.
In the video Sun’s plasma or broiling hot ionized gases cascade down to the solar surface in a phenomenon known as post-flare loops or coronal rain.
IRIS observes solar flares to study the activity of solar material and energy on the Sun’s surface. Solar flares cause to release a large proportions of magnetic energy to heat the solar atmosphere and thus driving energized particles into the space.
