Solar Flares Cause Sun Quakes

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

An 11th magnitude quake was recorded on the Sun, immediately following a moderate solar flare. The quake was the first ever recorded on the Sun, but only because astronomers had recently figured out when and how to find them using the orbiting SOHO spacecraft. Dark waves from the quake can be seen in the picture, spreading out from an explosive bright flare. The solar ripples are similar in appearance to waves caused by a rock thrown into a pond.
