LAST GASP: Decaying sunspot AR1618 (not to be confused with growing sunspot AR1620) erupted on Nov. 27th (1557 UT), producing a last-gasp solar flare ranking M1.6 on the Richter Scale of Flares. The movie shows a twisted plume of plasma flying away from the blast site, but only temporarily. The sun’s gravity pulled the plume back to the stellar surface before it could escape.
