APOD 4.6

Across the Sun

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.


Coronal mass ejections, plasma towers, solar filaments, and iodized hydrogen atoms are all key components in this telescopic capture (April 27th, 2015).  The solar filament seen in this image is estimated to be the same distance from the Earth to the Moon.  In the upper left corner, the plasma towers spotted are approximately reaching the Sun's edge.  !!! Amazing stuff.
