The matter in a solar flare is ejected at about a million miles per hour which is why it takes days for them to reach earth rather than the 8 minutes it takes light to cover the same distance. >> ^MarineGunrock:

Right, because we all know that cameras can capture things at that speed. Try again, Bill Nye. >> ^MonkeySpank:
The coolest thing about solar flares is that matter is actually ejected at near the speed of light.

Your video, How big are solar flares ?, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

But what is the time-scale of that flare? I doubt that footage is realtime..?

That one flare is 30 earths long? Daaaayum!

Don't RPG-7 only fire unguided projectiles...so what was all the business with the flares on the Plane.

Also lol at accent.

Looks like emergency flares.

I'm guessing the current obstacle for this is that without speed they lose lift and steering. They might be able to do this by finding points to land on that are back up the other side of a cliff, and high enough they'll be able to guide themselves towards it, lose lift and guidance and just land. It's the lateral speed that will be the hardest to eliminate.>> ^dag:

Great shots. Eventually they're going to learn how to flare out and land without a parachute.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Did JJ Abrams film this? Cuz those are some nice flares

They also seem to need a braking system that brakes the board ever so slightly whenever a sudden asymmetric shock is applied to the weels, it would have prevented a few of these, of cause that would also have caused a lot more fails, but at least those would be head first which makes it much more interesting to watch.

lesson learnt from this video: skateboards need slightly flared / squared side edges.

I have heard this issue so many times and honestly I rarely notice the lens flare. But I can understand people not liking it. I get annoyed at bourne trilogy shaky camera work. both are have the exact same underlining problem; If you cant see what is going on, you defeat the purpose of the movie.

They forgot to mention that all action scenes must take place at sunset, and all night time scenes must have tons of blue anamorphic fucking lens flare all over the goddamn place.
