Close up of prominences

[chuckp]

The left one looks like spaghetti. I took this in the afternoon. 2-23-21

I inserted the earth in the shot to show how large the prominence's are. I grabbed the wrong shot but this will give you an idea. of scale.

Great image I wonder how big these are and how much mass they contain

It's interesting to see this Chuck. Not only the large prominences but also all along the surface there is flames.

I answered your question by inserting the earth in the shot

It is coming to life again. There were also some sunspots.

That is the chromosphere.

This changes every day. It is my favorite scope to use, both visually and photographically. When the sun is inactive is just looks like an orange ball through the scope.

Fantastic Chuck, especially the 2nd one with the Earth image for scale. Just unreal how big the prominences are compared to the entire Earth! Love it!

It is mind boggling on how small we are in the universe. The one that really gets me is that Betelgeuse is as large as Jupiter's orbit.
