Coronal rain after M-class flare
HINODE Broadband Filter Imager
The movie shows observations of an M-class flare that occurred in an active region near the solar limb and the associated coronal rain representing plasma falling back to the Sun after the eruption. The data were taken by the Broadband Filter Imager on Hinode through a Ca II H filter (396 nm) that shows the solar chromosphere.
