Record-high plasma waterfall appears on Sun

The height of the plasma waterfall reaches almost 100 thousand km. It is about 8 times larger than the diameter of the Earth.

A waterfall of plasma appeared near the Sun’s south pole. It returns to the surface of the star at a very high speed after its explosion. The unique image was captured by Argentine professional astrophotographer Eduardo Shaberger Pupo, writes Space.

According to scientists, this is a polar coronal prominence.

“Near the poles of our star, the magnetic fields are stronger, so there are such phenomena from the falling plasma, which scientists call plasma waterfalls. In fact, the plasma is not in free fall, because it is under the influence of a magnetic field, which led to its ejection. However, lower than the speed of movement of the plasma down to the surface is about 36 thousand km / h. This speed is higher than the plasma which must move in a magnetic field. It is not yet known why this happens,” the scientists said.

It has also been noted that these currents can also crash into the Earth and cause geomagnetic storms.

Recall that earlier the NASA SDO apparatus detected a powerful burst of plasma on the Sun. This process, according to scientists, caused problems on Earth.
