Huge Prom

If you have a solar telescope now is the time to use it! There is a monster Prom on the eastern edge of the sun. They are not sure how long this is stay around so if you have a solar scope get on out there. They are saying When this filament collapses and hits the sun's surface, it could produce a rare type of explosion called a "Hyder flare". This is pretty exciting!
