"In the line of fire"

[daveg]

This line of prominences appeared on the Sun on Nov 3. Measuring approximately 360,000km along the disc with the tallest plume 51,000km high. Also visible were 2 quite 3D looking filaments, the right hand one projected into the edge prominence.

That is an incredible sight.

Those massive prominences soaring out into space, yet only hinting at the total power locked into our star.

Wonderful image sir.

That's a cracking image, well done. But what's the round thingy towards the top rh corner? (Hope that's not a really stupid question!)

Well either he has his own spacecraft for imaging at the other side of the sun OR..

It is the Earth superimposed to give scale...

Seems to be the 'new way' amongst the solar fraternity for presenting images.....

The scale thing that is.. not the spacecraft..

Just to remind us how small we are!

Nice image though!

Thanks, that makes sense.

The surface of the sun is just wild...all textured and crinkly, like ice on a glacier (with lava exploding out of it ).

Incongruous, eh?

Thanks, I enjoyed looking at that picture.

Steve thanx for explaining "the dot". I dont think the images really mean anything on their own, they need a frame of reference.

Oceanheadted - theres no such thing as a stupid question. I shouldve stated why the earth was there in my original post.

Lulu57 - glad you enjoyed it.
