A Solar Prominence Eruption from SDO
NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory captured a large solar prominence eruption in ultraviolet light over 90 minutes in 2011. The Earth-sized gas curtain is shaped by the Sun's magnetic field and may lead to a Coronal Mass Ejection. Such activity is expected to increase after the current Solar Minimum.
