Astroboffins map engine of a solar flare: Magnetic mega-fields and Earth-dwarfing blankets of electric current One of our Sun's large, recent solar flares was formed from the release of 10 to 100 billion trillion joules per second of magnetic energy through gigantic sheets of near-light-speed electrons, scientists say. Those sheets of electric current stretched more than 40,000 kilometres across, or more than three times the diameter …

(Will require customer supplied electrons - not included. May also require additional Guinness, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, butter, cheese, bread and grilling.)
