COSMIC MESSAGE

On New Year's Eve, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an impressive prominence erupting from the Sun's surface. The time-lapse video, covering four hours, shows the dramatic explosion in ultraviolet light. The tangled magnetic field directs the hot plasma in a kind of solar ballet as it falls back to the Sun.
