Description
This incredible image from NASA shows an Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope image of a huge, handle-shaped prominence on the sun. Prominences are huge clouds of relatively cool dense plasma suspended in the Sun's hot, thin corona. At times, they can erupt, escaping the Sun's atmosphere. The hottest areas appear almost white, while the darker red areas indicate cooler temperatures.
