Magnetic Twist Traps Billions of Tons of Plasma! Captured With My Telescope #astronomy #spacefacts

Solar prominences can contain 10 to 100 billion tons of heated plasma, extending far into the corona of the sun. Although the surrounding gases in the corona can be up to 1 million degrees hot, prominence gases can be far cooler, and this is one of the puzzles of their origins that physicists are still trying to understand. This time-lapse reveals mesmerizing solar activity through a special filter, the Daystar Quark Chromosphere, bringing you views of solar flares and chromospheric features in exquisite clarity.
