I was not expecting this when I captured the sun.
I pointed my telescope at this very unusual solar storm yesterday. An ongoing battle between the sun's changing magnetic fields has caused this plasma storm to rise and appear almost locked in place, unable to move. A structure like this might last for days.
The plasma can reach 10,000 degrees f. (5,500° C)
