A recently built telescope on Tenerife will observe eruptive events in the solar chromosphere and help to gain physical insights into the underlying triggering mechanisms.The chromosphere is a thin dynamic layer in the solar atmosphere, located between the surface and the corona. It is not visible to the naked eye, except for a few seconds during a total eclipse. The spectacular and energetic processes occurring here can be visualized using narrow-band optical filters.
