Over 1 million kilometers in size: The Sun has once again ejected a giant prominence

The ejection was recorded between 9 AM and 2 PM Moscow time

For the sixth time in the past week, the Sun has ejected a massive plasma structure that exceeds 1 million kilometers in size. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the IKI and ISZF.

A new giant plasma structure, over a million kilometers in size, ejected towards the northern pole of the solar system between 9 AM and 2 PM Moscow time. The ejection associated with the prominence is clearly visible in today's video with a comet in the left part of the frame.
