Monster Solar Prominence

Explanation: The monsters that live on the Sun are not like us. They are larger than the Earth and made of gas hotter than in any teapot. They have no eyes, but at times, many tentacles. They float. Usually, they slowly change shape and just fade back onto the Sun over about a month. Sometimes, though, they suddenly explode and unleash energetic particles into the Solar System that can attack the Earth. Pictured is a huge solar prominence imaged almost two weeks ago in the light of hydrogen. Captured by a small telescope in Gilbert, Arizona, USA, the monsteresque plume of gas was held aloft by the ever-present but ever-changing magnetic field near the surface of the Sun. Our active Sun continues to show an unusually high number of prominences, filaments, sunspots, and large active regions as solar maximum approaches in 2025.

说明: 这种在太阳出没的怪兽，与我们无相似之处。它们比地球大，并且是由比任何茶壶内的气体都要炽热的物质所组成。它们没有眼睛，但有时却拥有许多触手。此外，它们会漂浮，慢慢改变形状，并在大约一个月之后变暗掉回太阳。然而，有时它们会突然爆发，同时把可以攻击地球的高能粒子喷入太阳系。这幅影像所呈现的，是大约两星期前在氢发光波段拍摄的庞大日珥。这例怪兽般、由太阳表面附近无所不在但变化不定的磁场所举升的羽状太阳气体，是由美国亚利桑那州吉尔伯特市的一架小望远镜所记录。随着2025年的活动极大期即将降临，我们活跃的太阳不断出现异常多的日珥、暗条、太阳黑子和大型活跃区。
