The powerful belch of material ejected during a solar flare may be way hotter than scientists thought it was. A new mathematical analysis suggests that the engine driving solar flares is far more effective at heating charged particles, or ions, than it is at heating electrons. This could mean that we’ve been underestimating the Sun, since flare temperatures are estimated …
