Summary

DescriptionSolar-filament.gif	English: Filament erupting during a solar flare, seen at EUV wavelengths that show both emission and absorption (the filament has both). The plasma physics involved in this process remains ill-understood, but it certainly involves the Sun's magnetic field. Picture Credit: TRACE, NASA. Source
