“Reinvigorated Sun and Prominence” is copyrighted by Alan Friedman (Averted Imagination). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDramatic prominences can loom just beyond the edge of the Sun. This image, taken in a specific color of light emitted by hydrogen, shows a giant prominence last week. The Sun is displaying increased activity as it comes off an unusually quiet Solar Minimum, with a changing carpet of hot gas visible in its chromosphere.
