The Prominence keeps getting bigger.

Took the solar scope out again today and noticed the two prominence from yesterday are connecting with each other. I inserted the approximate size of the earth in the shot.

Wow, this just makes me feel so small. Amazing photography.

Cool shot - Hopefully that is heading in a different direction than our little mud ball.

That is just a little mind blowing Chuck! Seriously.... I appreciate you putting earth into it so we can have a bit of perspective. I can't even comprehend the size of those flames now!

Yikes! That's is HUGE! Really something - love seeing the scale of these things!

Spectacular. And to think there are stars thousands of times bigger than the sun out there.

Thanks for all the interesting comments. Until you show the the earth next to them people have no idea how big these prominences are. I went out to check this morning and this afternoon there were some very small ones and this one was completely gone. I'll keep checking and hope to get some really neat looking ones in the future.
