Solar prominence around sun's limb near AR12891
Solar prominence around the sun's limb near active region AR12891 captured on the 27th of October 2021 from Cumeada Observatory, Portugal. Prominences are dense clouds of plasma, or ionised gas, in the Sun's outer layer, the corona. Upon erupting, the flares become part of the solar wind. They may be associated with strong magnetic activity inside the Sun, and some flares are powerful enough that, on reaching Earth, they can disrupt telecommunications and satellite systems. Solar flares can extend hundreds of thousands of kilometres into space., by MIGUEL CLARO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
