On September 29 2008, this magnificent eruptive solar prominence lifted away from the Sun's surface, unfurling into space over the course of several hours.

Suspended in twisted magnetic fields, the hot plasma structure is many times the size of planet Earth and was captured in this view by the Sun-watching STEREO (Ahead) spacecraft. The image was recorded in extreme ultraviolet light emitted by ionized Helium.
