Explanation: What's hovering above the Sun? A solar prominence. A prominence is a crest of hot gas expelled from the Sun's surface that is held aloft by the Sun's magnetic field. Prominences can last for days, can suddenly explode into space, or just fall back to the Sun. What decides a prominence's fate is how the Sun's complex magnetic field changes -- the field's direction can act like an offramp for trapped solar particles. The 3-second (repeating) time-lapse featured video was captured earlier this month from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It shows the development of a larger-than-Earth prominence as it appears to leak solar plasma back to the Sun, over the course of an hour. What is unusual is that the prominence appears to hover -- more simple and typical prominences form magnetic loops that connect back to the surface. Many hours after this video ended, the hovering prominence disintegrated back into the Sun.

Is that a common thing? It looks like it isn’t igniting the way it’s supposed to.
Good thing some other heavenly body isn’t leaking. We’d never hear the end of it.
The sun is leaking large amounts of hot plasma due to earth’s climate change.
I’d hate to be the sun.
That’s an amazing video.
Some people believe the Earth’s climate change is serious — but it hasn’t earned a backstage pass to the Sun’s magnetic theater.
I think it would be nice at night.
Leaky ?.....It’s all fluxxed up........Needs some Depends...................
