| Solar flares appear as sudden, intense flashes in the chromosphere of the Sun. |
| For decades astronomers labored to get good photographs of the chromosphere, and in particular its spectrum. |
| The chromosphere is the first layer of atmosphere above the sun's surface layer. |
| Prominences, flares, plages, and other features of the solar chromosphere can be observed in hydrogen light. |
| But the hotter hydrogen in the chromosphere and corona above it is madly emitting at the same wavelength. |
| The clouds will just impede your direct view and the light of corona, chromosphere, and prominences may trickle through. |
