Composite image comparing the size of a solar prominence with the planets Saturn (centre right), Jupiter (upper left) and Mars (upper left of Jupiter). Prominences are dense clouds of plasma, or ionised gas, in the Sun's outer layer, the corona. This prominence (seen at left and right) occurred over the 6th and 7th February 2022 and stretched for thousands of kilometres around the Sun's limb. Captured from the Dark Sky Alqueva region, Portugal. | |
