Solar eruption
Solar eruption. Solar flares, or prominences, are massive eruptions of ionized hydrogen gas, often larger than the Earth, which arch away from the surface of the Sun. Some violent flares called Coronal Mass Ejections interact with the Earths magnetic field and can disrupt radio communications and produce spectacular aurora displays

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Solar Eruption" captures the awe-inspiring power and beauty of our Sun. Solar flares, also known as prominences, are enormous eruptions of ionized hydrogen gas that extend far beyond the Earth's size. These magnificent arches of gas can be seen in this image as they gracefully stretch away from the surface of our star. The photograph highlights one of nature's most dramatic phenomena - Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). These violent solar flares interact with the Earth's magnetic field, causing disruptions in radio communications and occasionally producing breathtaking aurora displays. The immense energy released during these events is a testament to the sheer power contained within our Sun. Dating back to the 20th century, this print is a valuable piece from Oxford Science Archive's collection. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with astronomy and our continuous quest for knowledge about celestial bodies like stars and their natural occurrences. The vibrant colors captured in this image add an artistic touch to its scientific significance. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal of a solar eruption, we are reminded once again how small we are compared to the vastness and grandeur of our universe.
