Solar prominences are large arch-shaped structures observable in the solar corona. These often have a twist and occasionally become unstable, ejecting plasma and magnetic flux out from the sun. A famous example of an exploding prominence is the 1973 Skylab photo shown to the right.

Extending into the hot corona are solar prominences, relatively cool (10,000 degrees or so) loops and tongues of gas suspended in the far hotter corona. Prominences can be as far as 50,000 km above the photosphere, and can be as much as 10,000 km thick and 600,000 km long.
