Giants of the Solar System – Two Days in a Row Shows a Large Prominence Evolving – Photos and Time Lapse

Giants of the Solar System – Two Days in a Row Shows a Large Prominence Evolving – Photos and Time Lapse

How big is big ? On 6th and 7th February, 2022, the Sun has featured a gigantic solar prominence over the limbs chromosphere.

This Giant was visible for two days and then erupted, throwing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. So I made a huge effort of gathering as much images as possible during these two days in a row. With it, I could show the shape evolution of the prominence before it vanished. According to my measurements in pixels, the size of this prominence was about 10x the size our planet Earth, in height, but stretching around the sun’s limb for thousands of kilometres. As comparison, a width beyond the largest system rings of Saturn. The images were captured in the Dark Sky® Alqueva region, Portugal.

The image was distinguished as “Highly Commended” in the “Our Sun” category in the "Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022", as well as being awarded in second place in the People's Choice Award from Royal Observatory of Greenwich, in London.
