• Solar Prominance • Taken over a period of approx 11 hrs. The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun’s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma. Also visible are Spicules, a dynamic jet of plasma in the Sun's chromosphere about 300 km in diameter, rise at a rate of 20 km/s (or 72,000 km/h) and can reach several thousand kilometers in height before

Solar Prominence by Hinode Solar prominence is cool gas floating in the solar atmosphere. Prominence material is denser than surrounding coronal plasma, but it is sometimes suspended in the corona for a long time. Coronal magnetic fields could act like a hammock, supporting the prominence material. Gas in the prominence moves up and down, showing the waves are propagating along magnetic field lines. It is thought that this wave may carry energy from the photosphere to the corona and that the ene

A Leaky Solar Prominence (APOD: 2025 Aug 26) Video Credit & Copyright: Andrea Girones https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250826.html Explanation: What's hovering above the Sun? A solar prominence. A prominence is a crest of hot gas expelled from the Sun's surface that is held aloft by the Sun's magnetic field. Prominences can last for days, can suddenly explode into space, or just fall back to the Sun. What decides a prominence's fate is how the Sun's complex magnetic field changes -- the field's dire

Definitely! This video shows a powerful event on the Sun. ☀️ Solar Activity Explained The video shows a spectacular astronomical event on the Sun. Here is what the terms mean: * Prominence Liftoff / Prominence Eruption: * A solar prominence is a huge, bright feature made of cool, dense plasma (electrically charged gas) that extends outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape, held up by the Sun's magnetic field. * A Liftoff or Eruption is when this prominence breaks free from the Sun,

• IRIS Views a Solar Prominence Bubble • This high resolution movie of a prominence highlights a phenomena called prominence bubbles. In regions where the Sun's magnetic field reverses sign, puffs of chromospheric material can be suspended above the Sun's surface. Sometimes, strong magnetic fields containing hot gas can occur under these puffs, forming what looks like a dome-shaped void. This void, called a magnetic bubble, can push up into the prominence material forming a bright ridge as seen

A large eruption occurs off the limb of the Sun in this image sequence, and you can see the solar prominence in the lower right. ☀️ Prominences appear when relatively cooler gas from lower layers of the Sun’s atmosphere is trapped in a magnetic field loop that extends outward from the Sun’s surface, into the hotter corona.

One of the coolest features seen during the total solar eclipse were the solar prominences! They were huge and bright! From @nasa - A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun’s surface. Prominences are anchored to the Sun’s surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere, called the corona. A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and stable prominences ma
