The Sun emitted a large prominence on Thursday, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported. "Emission from a very large prominence about half a million kilometers in size hit the cameras of several space telescopes today," said a statement from the laboratory. According to her information, "the bulge is still flying sideways and not towards Earth. Of the nearby planets, it seems that only Mars will be on its way." Experts point out that the gas cloud can touch the earth with its edge, with minor consequences. Video: Solar Astronomy Laboratory.
