A recent study has shed new light on the dynamic evolution of solar prominences. By integrating high-resolution observational data from the one-meter New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST) with spectral ...
An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) captured a solar prominence erupting from the sun's surface. The SDO used high-definition cameras to record the prominence on ...
See that massive plume? That's called a solar prominence. These loops of gas are suspended by a powerful magnetic field and stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers beyond the sun.
