Observation of a Vortex Ring in the Solar Atmosphere
Abstract
A vortex ring, or "smoke ring," formed in the solar atmosphere above a class iB flare was photographed in Ha light on 1969 December 2. The ring persisted for less than 2 minutes, with the fast-moving material out of which it was formed being reflected back toward the photosphere.
