A Solar Filament Lifts Off

COSMIC MESSAGE
Hot gas frequently erupts from the Sun. This glowing filament, captured by the TRACE satellite on July 19, is one such eruption. It measures over 100,000 kilometers in height, large enough to easily fit the entire Earth. The gas is funneled by the Sun's complex and changing magnetic field.
