  1. Multi-Viewpoint Observation of a Failed #Prominence #Eruption on the #Sun: arxiv.org/abs/2604.23084 -> Astronomers Uncover Why Some Solar Eruptions: cfa.harvard.edu/news/astronome - new multi-telescope observations show why a powerful blast never became a true mass ejection.

  3. Here is a still from a video Sergei Shestov just showed at the CU Boulder #coronographs symposium, from #Proba3 - you can see the remains of an eruptive #prominence in the corona to the lower right of the Sun, on 21 September 2025 at 23:21 UTC.

  5. A quotation from Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

    Of what value is fame, when one cannot enjoy posthumous fame?
     
    [Was liegt am Ruhm, da man den Nachruhm nicht erleben kann?]

    Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916) Austrian writer
    Aphorisms [Aphorismen], No. 293 (1880) [tr. Wister (1883)]

  8. A quotation from Joseph Addison

    “Censure,” says a late ingenious author, “is the tax a man pays for being eminent.” It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping it, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph.

    Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
    Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101

  16. "Topographic #prominence of three peaks located in Maine, US, all near the higher Great Pond Mountain. Red triangles mark the four peaks, the lowest contour line encircling each of the three lower peaks are shown in black and the green dots mark the key cols that mark the starting point of prominence. The prominences are Atkins Hill: 430 − 310 = 120 ft, Cave Hill: 570 − 530 = 40 ft, Mead Mountain: 671 − 530 = 141 ft. The parent peak of each peak is Great Pond Mountain."

  18. I am looking to fill a 🚨 #PhD #position 🚨 (4 years, 65% E13) within the CRC #Prominence in #Language at University of Cologne. We will investigate how #LLMs can be used to simulate linguistic experiments. Deadline is January 17, details here uni.koeln/Z5MXY (and on the entire CRC: uni.koeln/66YRZ).

    This double arc prominence erupting from the Sun’s surface reaches 225,000km into space.

  22. The Sun in H-Alpha light (656.23 nm), 22 august 2024. Prominences.

    A couple of images I did manage to save from a session during a quite bad morning for imaging the Sun, due the poor seeing and the sky transparency. I did like the results, though.

  26. Our Sun is a maelstrom of light and heat, a constant battlefield for plasma and magnetic fields. This recent prominence, captured by Andrea Vanoni and others, bore a striking triangular shape. This fiery outburst — larger than our entire planet — formed and broke up over the course of a single day. The wavy solar surface features in the lower part of the image are solar fibrils, magnetically confined tubes of hot plasma. What changing magnetic fields might allow them to burst forth in a glorious candle of their own? (Image credit: A. Vanoni; via APOD)

  27. A Triangular Prominence Hovers Over the Sun

    Looping magnetic fields on the Sun channel the flow of energetic particles, sometimes holding glowing gaseous structures aloft for months. A prominence glows brightly because it contains particularly hot, dense, or opaque solar plasma. The surprising triangular structure occurred last week.

  29. Ein kurzer Blick zur #Sonne. Übung macht den Meister.😄 Visuell aber sehr beeindruckend.

    A quick view of the #Sun. Skill comes with practice. 😄 Visually impressive though.

  30. Suspended in the active regions' strong magnetic fields, the filaments of plasma lofted beyond the Sun's edge appear as bright solar prominences.

    A #Solar #Prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disk) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface.
