Description

The surface of the Sun is calm, but today I imaged a Hugh Solar Prominence. I wasn't the only one who noticed this event. See below what was written on Spaceweather.com. I could also see the Prom in my small solar scope and it was just as impressive visually.

HUGE SOLAR PROMINENCE: Around the world, astronomers are monitoring a huge prominence on the sun's northeastern limb. Clayton Hare sends this picture from Newfoundland, Canada:
"The prominence was very active," says Hare. "It seemed to be streaming downwards ... not toward the sun actually ... but drifting away like tendrils of smoke from a fire."

The image insert  shows the perspective of the prominence and is complements of  Clayton Hare from Newfoundland, Canada. 

Thanks Clayton
