Carried by the Sun’s changing magnetic field, a filament, also known as a prominence of hot gas rose from the star’s surface. The event was observed by NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) mission. STEREO consists of twin spacecraft that orbit the Sun, one spacecraft ahead of the Earth and the other following behind. The spacecraft that trails behind Earth captured this image. Instrument: SOHO
