Large prominences on the sun yesterday

 There were some large prominences on the sun yesterday.  The largest extended outward nearly one-fifth of the sun's diameter, or 173,000 mi (278,000 km).

False-color image of the sun in hydrogen-alpha light.  29 July 10:30 am MDT.

Equipment:  Lunt LS50THa double-stacked solar telescope and ASI178mm camera. The full-disk image is blacked out to emphasize the prominences.
