ERUPTING PROMINENCE:
Today, astronomers are monitoring an unusually active prominence on the sun's eastern limb. Even veteran observers are impressed, using words like "amazing" and "jaw-dropping" to describe the activity they have seen. One observer described the fountain-like eruptions as "volcanic in appearance".
This beautiful activity may herald the approach of a new sunspot or it may just be a temporary upheaval, here today and gone tomorrow.
If you have a solar telescope, train it on the limb of the sun.
If this is a sunspot, it may be a sign of further sunspot activity. This would have consequences for telecommunications, electrical services and internet activity.
