A small flare occurred at the first 24th cycle sunspot (black frame). Hinode's X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observed a candle-flame shape structure there. The structure indicates that magnetic reconnection was ongoing above the cusp shape. Since it lasted longer than 8 hours, we can guess that magnetic reconnection also kept working for a long time.
