Monster Prominence

[rayaru1]

Great video,magnifico!!!!

[Roobert33]

Very nice *

First destructive solar flare was recorded in 1859. Telegraph poles were on fire and telegraph network were down. After careful study, next event was already foreseen with 90% life wipe out but Scientists coded the actual date in Religious way to prevent people from panicking (late 19th century). Micheal the Archangel was the key where he defeated Satan and save the Earth from burning in Hell. 2012 - 1859 = 153.

Search 153 that relates "Micheal the Archangel" in Google. You'll be surprised.

[starstarstar42]

Won't lie, read the title too fast and thought this was going to be some sort of pron.

[Galkzo]

[metaRLinfo]

@Galkzo wtf are you talking about, fail

[ThirtyTwoSeconds]

[skykorgon]

[cattouf]

I so wanna roast some marshmallows on that shit D:

[FineChinaify]

[TopazKzn]

[abderrahimc4d]

[TheGutterleech]

@abderrahimc4d

Why allahs creation? why not hindu gods, shinto gods, flying spaghetti monster creation???? Why the fuck you people bring your gods everywhere??

[hikan89]

[inc2000glw]

i fear nothing..... but chuck norris riding a solar flare.

[jaycabralesmusic]

the sun just farted XD

[iced327]

seriously, what asshole recorded this with their cell phone held upright? don't people know to turn their phones sideways when careening through space and taking video? gosh.

[hanhula78]

Holy shit!

[kweechy]

I took this image into Photoshop and extrapolated the sun's radius from the curve we can see here, then scaled the resulting circle down 109x (the relative radii of the earth compared to the sun) to get the Earth's size.

To give you an idea of the scale you're seeing here, the ENTIRE EARTH fits well within JUST the white spot at the top of this image...let alone the rest of the flare.

It's just a damn shame it doesn't capture it in real time to really get a sense of it.

[inc2000glw]

@kweechy - how long is it in real time . i would love to just watch that

[VonGammel]

@inc2000glw - from nasa "The dramatic explosion was captured in ultraviolet light in the above time lapse video covering 90 minutes, where a new frame was taken every 24 seconds."

[722erodz]

what we are watching is GOD's creation : )

[bicnarok]

@722erodz God is man´s creation:)

[tenhundredkills]

Is anyone else having issues viewing ANY video on Youtube? No matter what internet browser I'm using, I can't watch any videos on Youtube. They won't load. Every other part of Youtube works as usual. I was just watching videos an hour ago!

[jovan323]

@bappo456 @DurasDrum

Haha, just wanted to see who would be retarded enough to take me seriously. You gentlemen, are the winners! Congratulations! Now why don't you jettison yourself in the outer space, maybe it will help you clear your head. :)

[jovan323]

Why is there no sound? :)

[DurasDrum]

@jovan323 ... Ugh. Your comment makes me want to bash my head against my desk.

Actually, I'll do that right now.

Ow. This was your fault.

[bappo456]

@jovan323

/MAJOR FUCKING FACEPALM

[bicnarok]

@jovan323 S In space no one car hear you scream:)

[aminomevale]

ppuTV..... the entire Earth would easily fit under the flowing curtain of hot gas...

[aminomevale]

@ippuTV..... the entire Earth would easily fit under the flowing curtain of hot gas...

[petatontainas]

lava lamp

[wolfgangfaust]

@ippuTV -i am only guessing. . .the area on the suns' surface that emitted the flare could be 3x the size of the earth, judging by the curvature of the sun shown in this image.

[beerdeddi1]

Now this is an ejaculation! When i can sprite like this! Boah!!

[ChappyBT]

There probably was close too, if not more, mass of material shot out there than there is making up Planet Earth...AMAZING!!

And there's another 2 of those idiots who just click "Dislike" on every video they see, that found this video.

[culwin]

Get this in 3D

[hameed]

Has a prominence ever been seen by the naked eye? I know that white light is blindingly bright but I'm curious

[archigenes]

What sound does it make? Add sound please.

[JeremyAdshade]

@archigenes "what sound does it make." Sound travels in waves like light or heat does, but unlike them, sound travels by making molecules vibrate. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound in space.

[mahorosan1]

@archigenes

well, if there was a way to hear it, i imagine it would be an explosive sound louder than a nuclear blast.

[stevokwhl]

i just keep clicking "Replay"

[ELIT3squir3l]

@stevokwhl Me too. I could watch this for hours.

[PetadeAztlan]

Show us how tiny we are in the vast scheme of stuff in the cosmos. Be humble!

[thomasnordwest]

Amazing!!!

[Aleksov82]

In total 225 " frames " ??

[MrShakaboommm]

our sun make a fart

[QuantumGreg]

Amazing! And very beautiful. :) :) :)

[bunnyman09]

Astonishing and beautiful.

[YurikiHyuga]

CME: Coronal Mass Ejaculation.

[jedimasterggla]

@YurikiHyuga really lol!?!?!??!

[YurikiHyuga]

@jedimasterggla Yeah why not?

[greatshaitan]

LIKE if APOD took you here!

[chepetallica]

is really awesome!!!! woooooow.

[Mueiwark]

This gentleman is the most beautiful video of a solar prominence I've ever seen. The sun actually looks like a giant bubbling ball of plasma here.

[dvdh80]

This is still nothing compared to an explosion of a supernova, and a supernova is still nothing compared to the explosion of the Big Bang :)

[slidecube]

@dvdh80 As soon as you get one of those on HD video, let us know. For now, I'm going to continue to be awed by this.

[locksleyism]

A Scary thought !

[DamienZshadow]

I am always blown away by the sheer magnitude behind the power the Sun wields. It totally just puts you in your place...

[gazepeda]

Wow!

[PineHillAstro]

The most profoundly stunning 17 seconds of video we on Earth could ever hope to witness- at a scale we are helpless to grasp. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

[fycherry]

This is just beautiful!

[TOP100DJSGIRLS]

=)

[chevettelimao]

I just jizzed in the solar system!

[Freshoposum]

The earth fits 1.000.000 times into the sun. Now think about what have happens there :P

[Sanebison]

Holy cow! that was awesome....The power!

[muutalol]

cuuuum.. oh waiiit....

SUNSHOT!

[MrJJ2K]

I bet you could cook a lot of sausages on that flame!! :P

[GeRaLu27]

Whoa! now thats hot!

[rorypebs]

cheers,cool vid.

[sidewaysplatypus15]

scary and cool at the same time D:

[tenjenk]

well i feel quite intimidated given the size comparison between that spout and the size of our planet :|!

which makes it AWESOME.

[Trinivalts]

@tenjenk was thnking the same thing, lol, earth is probably about a pixel in this image.

[jedimasterggla]

@tenjenk lol kinda makes me think of knowing

[EdouardDubois]

It looks more like colorant in moving water... so weird how it falls back onto the surface. You can almost see the magnetic fields nudging the filament's trajectories.

[1112223333111]

It looks like the sun ejaculated.

[CSIWEMBLEY]

@1112223333111 hehehe, thats certainly one way of looking at it :)

[doomlordkaka]

@1112223333111 well actually it kinda did lol :)

[whythehell99]

@1112223333111

Only 17 seconds, man that was really premature!

[Skaarjguy]

Hot DAMN (no pun intended) that's AWESOME! My favorite part was when the plasma started raining back down onto the Sun. :D Looked awesome!

[rayofminneapolis]

OMFG! Nice

[TelescopeAtNight]

Whoa! That was a big one. :) Thanks for sharing
