Solar prominences, huge arcs of plasma hovering above the Sun, are getting fresh attention from scientists studying space weather. New research shows how these structures form, evolve, and sometimes ...

The sun is always mesmerizing to watch, but Solar Orbiter captured a special treat on camera: a dark 'prominence' sticking out from the side of the sun. The dark-looking material is dense plasma ...

The new computer simulations are based on a magnetic field structure that is often associated with prominences: the magnetic field lines in the corona form a double arc with a small dip in the middle.
