Huge Protuberance!


Finally our star is waking up from his state of deep sleep.
This is one of the biggest and most spectacular protuberance I saw in the last 3 years (or even more).
This protuberance is 4 to 5 taller than the Earth and has been ongoing on the edge of the sun for several days.
Below the powerful arch, you can see several areas where solar activity is quite high. Into the lower right corner there's a solar spot (this is an h-alfa narrowband image) and just above it, another tormented zone, not evolved into visible activity.
