VIDEO: The destruction of a large solar prominence

Solar prominence ejection on December 11-12, 2025

A rather beautiful glimpse of the Sun's separation from a large prominence, filmed over the past 24 hours. The video began yesterday around noon Moscow time, and the final frames were captured just half an hour ago. It took the star about 24 hours to completely unravel the completely insane tangle of matter and magnetic field that formed at the Sun's edge. This has nothing to do with 3I/ATLAS or its impact on Earth (it all happens very far from both the first and second bodies), but the tornado of plasma and magnetic field lines is still fascinating to watch.
