I'm having trouble identifying the flare. The article says it's a bright flash in the lower left, I do see a small eruption in the bright spot towards the end of the loop, but it doesn't seem drastic. The article also says it happens at 1:09 p.m. EDT which I think is 17:09 UT (the loops time) and which seems to line up with the eruption.
I know that "small" eruption can probably fit several Earths, I just assumed it would be larger/brighter for some reason.
