During the mission, at a time in the eleven-year solar cycle when the sun should be relatively quiet, two exceptionally large flares suddenly appeared; one of them expanded over an area 17 times the diameter of the earth. Under the direction of Garriott, a solar scientist by profession, the awesome event was photographed and measured from the first minutes of the eruption. Their...
