Below, today’s H-alpha image shows major prominence activity along the sun’s SE, NW, and SW limbs.
Our corresponding sunspot image shows that active regions AR4207 and AR4210 have disappeared to the sun’s far side while a new active region, AR4216 has emerged from the eastern horizon.
Today’s major prominences appear in the gallery below. Note that the NW prominences in the middle frame appear at the end of a filament that stretches back onto the solar disk. The same phenomenon is visible in first frame where the lower prominence is part of a fragmented filament.
