Explanation:
This dramatic set of prominences looms beyond the edge of the sun.
The image was captured by astrophotographer Bob Yen
as he stood in
the moon's shadow
near Bagdere, Turkey on August 11 for the millennium's last
total solar eclipse.
Solar prominences consist of comparatively cool,
dense ionized gas lofted above the sun's visible surface by intense magnetic
fields.
Prominences at the sun's edge or limb
are easily seen during total solar eclipses when the moon
precisely blocks
the bright light from the sun's disk.
While many
other prominences were
reported during the August 11 eclipse,
this particular image focuses on ones along the sun's southeastern limb.
