This Universe we all share has such wonder.


Today's Sol images, via the Coronado PST.

I've been waiting patiently these past few days, observing a giant filament slowly walk its way to the Sun's limb. 

Finally it crossed the threshold and transformed into the beautiful prominence you see below.

No matter how many times I view these prominences, be they massive, middle or minnow size, I am always in awe at the feeling of wonder they elicit.






The  unfulrling of a solar prominence is a sight worth seeing, astronomy and poetry are joined in such events as these. 

Be it a total eclipse of the Sun (which I still have yet to see), or the rising of the Moon, to the fleeting trail of a shooting star. 

Oh and those comets!  such ghostly apparitions, passing fleetingly through our solar system, probably never to be seen again. 

This Universe we all share has such wonder.
