☀️ A Prominence Hovers Over the Sun!⁠ ⁠ This breathtaking video of a solar prominence, a giant loop of plasma rising above the Sun’s surface, was captured on August 10, 2025.⁠ ⁠ Prominences are massive structures of plasma held in place by the Sun’s powerful magnetic fields. They can stretch for thousands of kilometers into the solar corona, sometimes lasting for weeks. From Earth, they look like fiery arcs — reminders of the incredible energy our star constantly releases. 🌞🔥⁠ ⁠ Credits: simon

• 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

A solar prominence located off the southwest limb of the Sun lifted off beginning around 11:30 UTC (Oct 29, 2024). Although much of the plasma was reabsorbed by the Sun, a narrow CME may have been produced. Because the event was not directly facing Earth, no impacts should be expected. | Space Weather by SolarHam

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.

• 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 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

Sun watchers were fixed on this spectacular #prominence eruption yesterday. The rope of solar material had been billowing since Sunday, and the event ended with a huge mass of plasma escaping into space yesterday afternoon. This sun-stuff doesn't appear to be on a course for Earth. Read today's #sun news: https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/ 📸 NOAA. | EarthSky
