A Solar Prominence Eruption from SDO
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Erupting prominences are among the most spectacular sights on the Sun. In 2011, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured this impressive eruption in ultraviolet light. The image is part of a time-lapse video covering 90 minutes. This flowing curtain of hot gas is so large that Earth would easily fit beneath it.
