Huge prominence eruption


 A huge prominence erupts from South-East limb in early hours of August 20, 2025. Day earlier, this region produced a major M-class flare. Such large prominence eruptions could be associated with a major geomagnetic storms impacting Earth's global infrastructure and satellites. This time, however, no geomagnetic storm is expected as the coronal mass ejection associated with this prominence eruption would miss the Earth. These observations are taken by GONG station at Learmonth, Australia. Erupting prominences (filaments on the disk) are closely associated with the coronal mass ejections - the major source of space weather.
