#viral | The Sun’s Putting on a Show: Two Giant Prominences Erupt on Thursday

The current abundance of large prominences is due to a sharp decrease in flare activity, allowing these towering structures to grow to enormous sizes without disruption, Russian scientists from the Institute of Space Research explained.

So, while the Sun dazzles with its giant plasma displays, we can simply watch in awe – safely from 150 million km away.
