Hi all,
Over the past four years I've taken quite a few pictures of solar
prominences. I enjoy the tremendous variation in size and shape and
often succumb to the temptation to describe them by the earthly forms
they suggest. I've put together this survey of some of my favorites.
Each panel of the mosaic contains a link to the full image and other
observations.
There is one with my anthropomorphic descriptions:

and one waiting for you to supply titles:

It is interesting to note that the change in character and intensity
of the prominences during the progression towards solar minimum last
year.
Some warm data for a frigid Buffalo morning... I hope you enjoy them!
best wishes,
Alan
