00:00Did you know that solar prominences are massive bursts of plasma that leap off the Sun's surface?
00:05These stunning arcs can stretch thousands of kilometers into space, and they're held together by magnetic fields.
00:12What's fascinating is that they can last for days or even weeks before disappearing.
00:16Some prominences are so large that they can be seen from Earth with the right equipment,
00:21appearing like fiery ribbons against the dark sky.
00:24They often occur near sunspots where magnetic activity is intense.
00:27And here's a fun fact.
00:29When a prominence erupts, it can send solar material hurtling toward Earth,
00:33potentially disrupting our satellites and even causing beautiful auroras.
00:37So next time you gaze at the Sun, remember those incredible swirling structures dancing above it.
