An eruptive prominence, captured by the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope
(EIT) on board the
SOHO spacecraft. A high resolution GIF image can be found
here.
From the SOHO web page:
SOHO-EIT image from 14 September 1997 showing a huge eruptive
prominence in the resonance line of singly ionized helium (He II) at
304 Angstroms in the extreme ultraviolet. The material in the eruptive
prominence is at temperatures of 60,000 - 80,000 K, much cooler than
the surrounding corona, which is typically at temperatures above 1
million K.
