Details:
Captured on 11th July, 2022, at UT 13h49 from Dark Sky® Alqueva region, Portugal, a high-resolution mosaic of the Sun is featuring a very active chromosphere full of large filaments, some of them are so big, that can probably reach the size of Saturn’s ring system – which means – dozens of planet Earths. Some sunspots are also visible in the inverted Ha image, with Active Region 3053 – visible in the upper center – featuring an arched prominence, also called filament, for being visible from above and against the solar disc. As the Sun is rotating some of these filaments will then turn into prominences as we normally call it, while they will be seen around the solar limb.
