Watch this Sunspot Explode! Captured in Light and Radio

What started as a nice clear, cloudless observing day quickly turned into something special. I didn’t expect to get this lucky, but this giant flare erupted from sunspot AR4392 right in view! Both light and radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and travel at the speed of light. In this video, you can see the flare in H-alpha light and hear its radio emission, synchronized as both are coming from the same solar event. A radio receiver converts the radio waves into audio, allowing us to “hear” the Sun. 🎥 Full solar telescope setup & capture process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXYaBNYRNA 📡Radio instruments used: • Radio JOVE Single Dipole (20.1 MHz) • Single Dipole (40 MHz) • SuperSID Monitor (VLF 15–25 kHz) Radio JOVE detects solar radio bursts from flares, while SuperSID monitors changes in Earth’s ionosphere caused by those flares. ⏱️ Timelapse sped up 250× — hours of solar activity in minutes. #astronomy #sun #space #solarflare #telescope #astrophotography #solarsystem #spaceweather #radioastronomy #sunobservation #timelapse #radiojove #supersid #ar4392
