Sun simultaneously released two giant prominences
Telescopes recorded this rare event during a solar eclipse visible from the Southern Hemisphere of Earth.
During the solar eclipse (visible from the Southern Hemisphere of Earth), the Sun experienced a double simultaneous plasma ejection from opposite sides. Astronomers consider this a very rare and beautiful event. As explained by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the prominences erupted at the maximum phase of the eclipse at 22:30 Moscow time. Their size was about 1 million kilometers — 70 times the size of Earth.
A plasma ejection of such power indicates large energy reserves of the Sun, despite the general decline in its activity. Fortunately, the plasma filaments passed by our planet.
