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.

The structure might have been a refinery.

Perhaps our understanding of the sun is too deep and this is just a larger than normal ejaculation? If so, here’s hoping it doesn’t cum our way. I meant come our way. Stupid autocorrect.
bump since I left a comment at the newsweek site that is not likely to be published as apparent with the warning I received.
Duct tape can only hold so long in that kind of heat.
Oh great!
Another lockdown, the sun has covid and now coughs.
