Closeup of part of the sun with bright spots and glowimg gas swirling up.
Fiery #prominences graced the #sun’s west limb over the past day, as vast arcs of plasma rose and twisted above the solar horizon. The prominences are a sign this week's super-active #sunspot regions (10 X flares!) are rotating out of view.

Close view of the Sun’s surface with a bright erupting prominence rising in glowing red plasma.
Two solar #prominences graced the #sun’s edges over the past day. The 1st erupted as a lifting filament from the sun’s southeast limb late yesterday). A 2nd prominence burst above the sun’s north pole this morning. Read more at: buff.ly/TusXyVX

These #prominences erupted in near-perfect synchrony from the sun's northeast and northwest horizons last night. Meanwhile, prolific #sunspot region AR4246 was blasting out a volley of #flares. Some have sent sun-stuff toward Earth, with expected arrivals in the next days:

The sun, with large arcs of glowing material on the right and left sides.
The #sun produced a gorgeous pair of #prominences at around 4 UTC this morning. No coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are expected to come our way, as both explosions were produced from the far side of our star. 🌞 Read about the sun at EarthSky's sun news page: buff.ly/l0PWb77

#sun this morning in Ha wavelength. Made with my 'new' #Vixen #ED70SS refractor (this scope was produced between 2015-2017 only). A fantastic little refractor: razorsharp, compact, very large backfocus!

Image shows the chromosphere of the sun, with filaments on the solar disk and prominences around the limb of the disk.
#sun in h-alpha light this morning. AR4079, the large #sunspot group is now really at the limb of the disk, showing activity.

North East limb of the Sun today. Interesting prominence. Something on the way maybe? #sun #solar #prominences #astrophotography #astrononomy #sunhour #stormhour #thephotohour
A stunning composite image captures the International Space Station (ISS) silhouetted against the Sun. The ISS appears as a series of small, dark shapes transiting across the sun's surface, which is rich with solar activity including sunspots, prominences, and filaments. The image was taken from Beijing, China, and combines a series of short exposure shots to capture the ISS with a separate image highlighting the sun's texture and features.

During totality, glowing loops of plasma called #Solar #Prominences could be seen extending into the corona.
