Sigmoids Predict Solar Eruptions

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

On the Sun, S marks the spot. Solar explosions have been discovered to explode preferentially from regions marked with this letter. When two regions of high magnetic field strength approach each other, an X-ray bright S-shaped region called a sigmoid forms and quickly explodes in a Coronal Mass Ejection. The image captures one of these pre-eruption sigmoids.
