A prominence at the edge of the sun provided us with a splendid view of solar material as it churned and streamed in this footage captured June 25-26, 2017, by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite. The charged particles of the solar material, called plasma, are manipulated by strong magnetic forces. When viewed in this wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light—typically invisible to our eyes, but colorized here in red—we can trace the movements of the particles. This type of structure is fa

A charged stream of plasma is captured arching up and curling back into the Sun over a 30-hour period in this Dec. 13 Solar Dynamics Observatory video. These cooler strands, known as prominences, are quite unstable and usually fall apart in hours or days. Take a look: http://go.nasa.gov/2BIPmJ3 | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

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.

A Prominence Bubble • This high resolution movie of a solar 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 in this movie

• IRIS • Large Solar Prominence - Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph 17.10.2020 • Here the multi-directional paths of the plasma show how chaotic the suns magnetic fields can get. The polarity of the magnetic loops dictate the flow of plasma in this short video taken by IRIS on Feb, 2015 over a duration of approximately 5 hours. The complex prominence shows vertical structures, rotating motions, and strong downflows from the prominence body. We aslo see a detailed view of the surface spicules

See that small prominence twisting and turning over the Sun’s surface? It actually reaches up more than several times the size of Earth! The action, observed by our Solar Dynamics Observatory Jan 3 – 4, 2017, is quite common. Prominences are relatively cool strands of solar material tethered above the Sun’s surface by magnetic fields.

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,

Space | Cosmos | Galaxy on Instagram: "A Solar Prominence is a large, bright, looped feature of plasma extending from the Sun's surface into the corona, held in place by magnetic fields. These structures can be hundreds of thousands of miles long and may last for days or months, but if they become unstable, they can erupt and release plasma into space. Credits: @simon2940"

This video shows a solar prominance, a large plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun's surface, captured by NASA's SOHO. Solar prominances can trigger coronal mass ejections. #space #nasa
