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 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.

🌞 🤩 Sun activity for October 18, 2023: We saw some double-prominence action today. 😎 A large filament lifted off from the eastern limb (edge), giving us a great prominence and leaving the sun into space. 🤔 At approximately the same time, a much smaller, dynamic prominence danced on the western limb (edge), though this structure stayed tied to the sun. The prominence on the east limb (edge) rose to more than 350,000 km before lifting off. 😱 The western limb (edge) prominence stood around 90,

A gigantic solar prominence dominated the sun today (2023/12/07), a remnant from AR3500, the same active region that produced a near X Class flare from Nov 28th 2023. This active region is now out of view but the show did not end there as a huge wave of hydrogen gas was being pulled apart by unseen magnetic forces. 🎥: @simon2940 As the cloud of hydrogen rose, the gases were pulled back down in different directions. If you watch where it splits, you can see most of the particles being pulled dow

🌞 😱 Sun news for December 26, 2023: Solar Max is on its way 🤩 👏 Today’s top news: For the past 24 hours, the sun has been relatively calm. But Solar Max is on its way, now expected in 2024. Forecasters were predicting 2025 for the peak of the current 11-year sun cycle, Cycle 25. But the current cycle has already outpaced predictions, both in sunspot number and in the number of larger M and X flares. 🤔 So the past day has been C flares only. But remember the 3 M flares of the day before? And

SOUND ON! It’s a Sun Dance Party! 🌞🤩🥳 Sun activity for October 6, 2023: After yesterday’s eruption, the northwest is not to be outdone. A rockin’ prominence erupts with grooviness. 🙀 And still, the north pole shows its polar crown while in the south filaments keep blasting away. WOW! 👏 We may even have some auroral activity at Earth in the next day! 🤓 The sun is cool! 😎 DETAILS: https://bit.ly/sunactivity #sunactivity #spaceweather #prominence #aurora | The Sun Today: Solar Facts and Spac

The sun released a huge prominence eruption at about 8:30 UTC on December 30. It came from an erupting filament near the southeast limb (edge). It quickly expanded into a massive structure longer than 200 Earths lined up, or about 800,000 miles (1.3 million kilometers). That’s long … about as long as the sun is wide. This eruption released a large blob of solar plasma or a coronal mass ejection (CME). More than likely it’s not Earth-directed, given the eruption’s location. While current flare ac

🌞 Sun activity for October 23, 2023. Three prominences a charm😃 We had an even quieter day on the sun than yesterday. There are almost no flares and tiny, boring sunspots.🧐 But wait, there’s more! Prominences. Count them—not one or two, but three—rising from the sun in succession. 😎 👏 The first one is noticeable around 21:00 UTC on October 22 off the northern limb (edge). Then look to the south at 23:28 UTC. These two are huge and quickly extend well beyond the large field of view of the GO

🌞 Sun activity November 8, 2023: After the storm, a calm... but wait! 😮 After the geomagnetic storms and beautiful auroral displays of the past few days, the sun seems to be having a moment of calm. But wait! 😱 A violent eruption occurred! The event produced a beautiful prominence on the northwest limb (edge). The event was in the vicinity of sunspot group AR3479, which has been particularly explosive today. 🤔 The eruption fired solar material into space as a coronal mass ejection (CME), but

This huge filament of solar plasma and magnetic field carried billions of tons of material out into space at millions of miles an hour. The scale of this structure is truly breathtaking when compared to Earth's scale. 😱 This structure, like the on

Both are billions of tons of solar plasma threaded with magnetic fields from the sun. The one in the north extends to a v

The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "May grey has set in and the skies are filled with clouds once again. 😞 Until then, this gem was taken back in May 2023 and shows a solar prominence. What's interesting about this one is how it swirls around and looks like something is expelling out gas from a point source. I haven't seen something like this again since, and have always wondered how unique of an event this actually is."
