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.

Poor Sun...
He’s come undone
He didn’t know what he was headed for
And when he found what he was headed for
It was too late!
Trump.
There goes the solar system. /jk
Yikes, I have women and children in my family.
I suspect they will be hardest hit.
i stood upon the burning deck,
my feet were full of blisters.
[[Enormous Structure on Surface of Sun Appears to Be Coming Apart]]
Probably made of chinese parts
Hmm - I worked with that person some years ago...
The Sun and its flares make we humans feel small.
My cat is too young to die but the rest of us are ready to go. Being fried is as good as any other way.
I’d bet $5 that they’ll get 90+ “scientists” to sign their phony document, as they’ve done previously.
Upon the solid rock, I stand.
Structure, Huh?
Well, must be a brick structure: A Straw house and a Wood house wouldn’t last any longer on the sun than they would with the big bad wolf huffing and puffing.
Anyone contact grrrrrreta or algore? Or, if unavailable, have nanzi give the sun “that look”. It’ll settle down.
Yep a sign of the sun about to go nova ... very very warm.
Oh no! This will make gas prices go up and it’s another thing hitting our president, preventing him from doing his job.
That would be a Colonic Mass Ejection.
I thought their emissions were more along the lines of billowing green fog.
Trump's fault.
No, wait ... Putin's fault.
Thanks for correcting my spelling.
