Double Eruptive Prominences
Credit: SOHO - EIT Consortium, ESA, NASA
Explanation: Lofted over the Sun on looping magnetic fields, large solar prominences are
composed of relatively cool, dense plasma. When seen against the brilliant solar disk they
appear as dark filaments, but these enormous magnetic structures are bright themselves when
viewed against the blackness of space as they arc above the Sun's edge In a rare visual treat,
these two solar prominences arising from the Sun
