• IRIS • Large Solar Prominence - Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph 17.10.2020 • Here the multi-directional paths of the plasma show how chaotic the suns magnetic fields can get. The polarity of the magnetic loops dictate the flow of plasma in this short video taken by IRIS on Feb, 2015 over a duration of approximately 5 hours. The complex prominence shows vertical structures, rotating motions, and strong downflows from the prominence body. We aslo see a detailed view of the surface spicules

IRIS: Solar Prominence at NW-limb 06/11/2018 This dense prominence or filament was recorded in October 2013 by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)/NASA. Flame like spicules show up nicely on the limb in 1400 A Solar prominence is cool gas floating in the solar atmosphere. Prominence material is denser than surrounding coronal plasma, but it is sometimes suspended in the corona for a long time. Coronal magnetic fields could act like a hammock, supporting the prominence material. Gas
