Solar prominences, huge arcs of plasma hovering above the Sun, are getting fresh attention from scientists studying space ...

The study may help predict dangerous solar storms and protect satellites and power grids.

Prominences are cool plasma structures extending several thousand kilometers in the Sun’s hot corona. Some persist for weeks. For prominences to form and remain stable, they need a constant ...

Solar prominences are massive chunks of plasma floating above the Sun’s surface, which can cause dangerous solar eruptions.
