Flare Out: Massive plasma eruption from the Sun
An elongated solar filament that extended almost half the sun's visible hemisphere erupted into space on April 28-29, 2015, in a large burst of bright plasma. Filaments are unstable strands of solar material suspended above the sun by magnetic forces. Solar astronomers around the world had their eyes on this unusually large filament and kept track as it erupted. Both of the coronagraph instruments on the joint ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, show the coronal mass ejection associated with the eruption.

Uno degli attentatori di Dallas è cittadino americano. Si chiama Elton Simpson, dell'Arizona, residente a Phoenix. Secondo la Abc sarebbe una vecchia conoscenza dell'Fbi, precedentemente indagato per terrorismo. Nulla si sa ancora sull'identita' del secondo assalitore. Simpson - secondo le indiscrezioni ottenute dalla Abc - fu in particolare giudicato colpevole e condannato per aver mentito all'Fbi circa i suoi programmi di recarsi in Africa, probabilmente per arruolarsi nelle fila dei militanti jihadisti.
