APOD: 2025 August 26 – A Leaky Solar Prominence

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

This time lapse is over the course of 1 hour compressed down into seconds.
Super heated plasma is held in place, high above the chromosphere of the sun. Magnetically locked into place by unseen forces, waiting to be released.

📸 Coronal Loops on the Sun

Loops of plasma rise from the Sun’s surface, shaped by magnetic fields. These coronal loops can last for days and reach sizes big enough to surround Earth.

This panel shows four loops captured in 2024 and 2025 from Mantova, Italy, in light emitted by hydrogen.

“First Light in H-alpha!🌤🔭
Yesterday I captured the Sun in a whole new light—literally. This is my first ever solar image in H-alpha using my trusty
"Coronado PST 40/400."
I’m beyond proud of the result: prominences, filaments, and sunspots all in one shot.
It’s just a single stack for now, but a double-stack upgrade is coming soon!
can’t wait to double stack and dive deeper into the Sun’s drama!”☀️

APOD: 2024 August 18 – A Solar Prominence Eruption from SDO

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

All my shots were done handheld, and I'm going through them so they aren't very spectacular but... this one caught me. There is a weirdness to this shot, a creepy feeling with that bleeding #solarProminence

That is amazing.
