"The twin STEREO spacecraft (called Behind and Ahead denoting their relative positions in space), now almost 120 degrees apart, captured this large and dramatic prominence eruption over about a 30-hour period between Sept. 26-27, 2009. Prominences, called filaments when they are viewed against the surface of the Sun, are clouds of cooler gas suspended above the Suns surface by magnetic forces. This erupting prominence was large enough that both spacecraft were able to observe it for hours on end, one of the first times that has occurred."


"From the Behind perspective (on left) the long filament, darker than the Suns surface, can be seen rising up and then breaking away, spreading out above most of the Suns surface. As seen from the Ahead spacecraft (right), the filament is seen in profile and is therefore called a prominence. The very large cloud lifts up, breaks away, and heads out into space. This is one of the most spectacular eruptive prominences either SOHO or STEREO have observed." -- 10-06-09

"This is one of the most spectacular events that the STEREO mission has observed."

"Scientists are interested in observing the profile view (as seen by the "Ahead" spacecraft),
as it confirms the model that prominences move from high solar latitudes toward to the
Sun's equator. The prominence observed follows the path of the solar magnetic field,
which changes form during the 11-year solar cycle. The shape of this prominence is
characteristic of the solar minimum which is the quietest solar minimum in a century."

  • that's gonna be happen sooon!

  • @pogpog28 Stop spamming solar flare videos with god-spam.

  • @hipdead even worse ahole! all the world needs is more aholes like you spreading more bs 'cause they're "just fooling around"...try fooling around with a loaded gun to your worthless f'n head!

  • @hipdead hahaha! i can't imagine the look of your face. I'm just fooling around because of all the B.S. that has been happening around Youtube..and you fell for it. Lol! You know my comment was pure B.S.! ^_^

  • @erichathy222 see my comment above directed at an idiot just like you! pogpog meet erichath, you two nutjobs should go carry on a conversation in a mental ward! Lunatics shouldn't be allowed to roam free!

  • @pogpog28 nobody gives a crap about your religious delusions...get a life...quit spooging your retarded brain goo, keep it in your crapper, then the rest of us won't have to shake our heads and KNOW what a dimwitted fool you really are! If I google retarded idiots, your name and pic will be the first hit...so sad for you...I mean being you must really suck.

  • 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.

  • @V45Rider explain the existance of the universe smart boy.

  • Most people I guess don't even give a thought to what goes on outside the earth, there is probably more beauty than we could imagine, great video.
