Last month, it produced the largest prominence ever imaged together with a complete solar disk. The record image, featured, was captured in ultraviolet light by the Sun-orbiting Solar Orbiter spacecraft. A quiescent solar prominence is a cloud of hot gas held above the Sun&#8217;s surface by the Sun&#8217;s magnetic field. This solar prominence was huge &#8212; spanning a length rivaling the diameter of the Sun itself. Solar prominences may erupt unpredictably and expel hot gas into the Solar System via a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When a CME strikes the Earth and its magnetosphere, bright auroras may occur. This prominence did produce a CME, but it was directed well away from the Earth. Although surely related to the Sun&#8217;s changing magnetic field, the energy mechanism that creates and sustains a solar prominence remains a topic of research. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap220302.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s happened to our Sun?
