This APOD picture was very interesting to me because it shows a huge prominence explosion on the sun, one of the biggest eruptive explosions that has been recorded. A prominence is a cloud of hot solar gas that is held above the Sun's surface by its magnetic field. Prominences may erupt in a CME-Coronal Mass Ejection and violently expel hot gas into the solar system.
