A Solar Filament Lifts Off

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Hot gas frequently erupts from the Sun. This glowing filament, captured by the TRACE satellite in July 2000, is one such eruption. Although small compared to the Sun, it measures over 100,000 kilometers in height, large enough to easily fit the entire Earth. The gas is channeled by the Sun's complex magnetic field. Most of these filaments eventually fall back to the Sun's surface.
