Aspace photographer has shared an image of a huge prominence on the surface of the sun that is speculated to be coming apart.
Solar prominences are large, bright loops of plasma—electrically charged hydrogen and helium gas—that extend outwards from the surface of the sun. They can be truly massive in scale, sometimes tens of times larger than the Earth.
While solar prominences can take just a day to form, they can be stable enough to persist for months, looping hundreds of thousands of miles into space while anchored to the sun's surface.
Solar prominences can sometimes disintegrate or collapse altogether. This happens when the magnetic field in their vicinity become unstable, such as if a new magnetic field line pokes through the sun's surface beneath the prominence...
The collapse of a solar prominence can cause an explosion of material away from the sun which releases what's known as a Hyder flare, named after astrophysicist Charles Hyder who studied these events.

if you build in an unstable environment, you are gonna have foundation problems.

Probably a CME, coronal mass ejection.
Think Schiff and Swalwell.

The CDC is developing a new anti-flare vaccine at this very instant. Clinical trials will be suspended, as usual.
Sheltering in place for two weeks will slow down the spread of the conflagration.

I am waiting for the scientist to tell us that giving up our gas vehicle will save the sun and thereby the earth.
Sorry, my bad. I left a window open while the air conditioner was running. Will probably be the end of the solar system.

So are we all gonna die? Do we have time to party first?
The sun has a fever!
The Sun has flatulence, who knew?
“Science” reporting has become as hysterical as other reporting with hyperbolic clickbait headlines that promise content that isn’t in the articles. Disgusting.
“Sorry, my bad. I left a window open while the air conditioner was running. Will probably be the end of the solar system.”
You were helping to cool down the earth. Now if that had been a heater running, then yes.
