jabeoo1 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Is this feature a flare that from our advantage point is partially on the disc and partially showing as a prominence ?I spent ages looking at it earlier today and am currently learning to try and identify the features.

Peter Drew Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The feature shown on the excellent image is a filament. Filaments become prominences when they extend beyond the limb of the Sun. When half and half they are commonly called filaproms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
