Description

On Thursday morning April 20, I was able to capture this stunning solar landscape.
On the surface of the sun, several filaments and the AR3282 sunspot can be observed, but all the attention is taken by the activity on the solar limb. On the right, we see two detailed prominences and on the left, we see a fantastic solar tornado, which approximately 90 minutes after this photograph was captured, this spiral of plasma, lifted off and flew straight away from the sun.
