Солнечные новости - танцующий протуберанец
Этот протуберанец - гигантское облако плазмы - танцует сегодня над западным лимбом Солнца.
Этот снимок сделан приборами Solar Dynamics Observatory (NASA).
Его размер составляет более 80000 км в высоту, и находись он рядом с Землей, то предсвтавлял бы для неё непосредственную опасность.
SOLAR PROMINENCE: A giant cloud of plasma is dancing over the sun's western limb today. Shown here in a snapshot from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, the structure is more than 80,000 km tall and could swallow our planet more than 50 times with room to spare.
Solar physicists call this a "hedgerow prominence." Hot glowing plasma inside the structure is held aloft by unstable solar magnetic fields. NASA and Japanese space telescopes have taken high resolution images of of similar prominences and seen some amazing things such as (1) tadpole-shaped plumes that float up from the base of the prominence; (2) narrow streams of plasma that descend from the top like waterfalls; and (3) swirls and vortices that resemble van Gogh's Starry Night.
