A huge bulge emission has been recorded on the sun An emission of a very large bulge about half a million kilometers in size has reached the field of view of several space telescopes today. Prominences, by their nature, are dark and cold gas clouds floating above the surface of the Sun, often at heights of tens of thousands of kilometers. Unlike earthly clouds, which are carried freely by the wind, bulges on the Sun are entangled with magnetic field lines that keep them in place, while allowing them to grow and increase in size. Sometimes absolutely huge structures grow, hundreds of thousands in size, and sometimes up to a million kilometers in size. By their very nature, bulges are structures foreign to the solar corona, which the star is always trying to get rid of - often simply by throwing them into space. A giant ejecta is one of the most beautiful spectacles in a large array of solar activity discoveries. Bulges are also the source of some of the strongest magnetic storms. Hitting the magnetic field of a planet with a heavy, dense gas filament typically triggers G3-level storms. at least. G4 (strong to very strong). Events at the highest level G5 are still caused by very strong flares. In this case, the bulge is still flying sideways and not towards Earth. Of the nearby planets, only Mars seems to be on its way. However, a gas cloud can still touch Earth, albeit with minor consequences. The calculations will be published tomorrow morning, but for now we can only look at the beautiful spectacle again. The video was taken by the SUVI telescope on the GOES-R satellite from about 08:30 to 17:00 Moscow time today, October 29, 2026. Link to the video in original quality (7 megabytes) - link.
