not visible (very well) in my poor photo but does anyone know what the red dot was at the bottom right of the ring? Solar flare?

@ketmorco I think they're "solar prominences", iirc solar flares would be solar prominences that break away from the sun.

Basically plasma caught up in magnet loops coming off the visible surface of the sun.

@chris_hayes The more I think about it the more terrifying and amazing that all is.

What appeared as just a little dot of red was probably larger than the entire Earth.
