"Potential Sun Explosions Visible During April 8 Solar Eclipse"

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 may offer a rare opportunity to witness massive solar explosions, including solar prominences, coronal mass ejections, and solar flares. These phenomena, typically only visible with specialized equipment, could be observable during the brief period of totality. Scientists are working on projects to capture these events, including the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (CATE 2024) project, which aims to create a continuous 60-minute 3D movie of the sun's corona using standardized cameras and setups.
