Sun's filaments
|
Caption originale NASA: "The filament, although small compared to the overall size of the Sun, measures over 100.000 Km in height, so that the entire Earth could easily fit into its outstretched arms. Gas in the filament is funneled by the complex and changing magnetic field of the Sun. After lifting off from the Sun's surface, most of the filamentary gas will eventually fall back".
