Sun ejected large-scale plasma

Scientists at the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAN) reported that a plasma structure detached from the Sun's northern pole, stretching a million kilometers in length, is three times the distance from Earth to the Moon. According to researchers, similar mass ejections were observed last year as well, for example in November, although such large-scale events are rare. Prominences are characterized by high plasma density and strong magnetic fields, making them among the most potentially dangerous manifestations of solar activity.

Context

In November of last year, a major plasma structure ejection was also recorded.
