10,000 K Sun
Nobeyama Radioheliograph can observe prominences (filaments),
which have relatively low temperature (10,000 K) compared with
other phenomena on the Sun. This figure shows the 1992-7-31 prominence
eruption. This is a composite image: The three filaments out of the
limb are the snapshots at different times of a single erupting prominence:
The disk image is a negative soft X-ray image, which is indicating
the arcade flare after the eruption.
