International Sun Day row of prominences

Description

This was shot during an event organised by Eric Emms for International "Sun"Day at Regents Park, London. After a day of entertaining the public with out solar scopes and telescopes with white light solar filters, I quickly grabbed a couple of shoots of the main preformance of our star, The Sun for The Central London Sunday Flikr Group. This shows the an incredible chain of prominences that entertained us all as if it was sporting a new spiky haircut, Simpsons style! Plage and sunspot was also grabbing for attention. nearby.
