Holy shit - that bit at 5 o'clock was a solar flare?!?! I could see that with no magnification whatsoever! Amazing!

It was a prominence, not a flare. A flare escapes the sun's magnetic field while a prominence does not.

Fair enough. I'm no astro-smith

Flares cause CME, and CME would appear like a prominence. CME and prominences are thought to be linked somehow, we're not totally sure yet.
