SpaceWeather.com | Enormous Solar Prominence

PROMINENCE, CONTINUED: For the second day in a row, astronomers are monitoring an enormous prominence rising over the northwestern limb of the sun. "Twenty-four hours after I first saw it, it is still alive and more monstrous (in a beautiful way) than ever," reports Alan Friedman, who sends this picture from his observatory in downtown Buffalo, New York:


Note sunspot 1054 in the lower right corner


The magnificent arch stretches more than 20 Earth-diameters from end to end. Our planet would easily fit through any of the "little" plasma gaps evident in Friedman's photo.

SolarCycle24.com Solar Update - Several B-Class flares have taken place on Thursday. A few of these have taken place around the region currently hiding on the eastern limb in the southern hemisphere.

Currently both Sunspot 1054 and 1056 are the only spotted regions on the face of the sun and both are located in the northern hemisphere.

There will remain a slight chance for a C-Class flare in the next 48 hours.
