Solar prominence         03/30/16

 

Solar prominences are one of the most important subjects in modern day astronomy. Solar prominences are Bright, gaseous features that extend out from the surface of the sun. Prominences are anchored to the photosphere of the sun in a loop-like geometry. A prominence can form in as little time as a day, and can last for months on end! Solar prominecnes can break apart and give rise to Coronoal mass ejections
