生活在太阳上的怪物和我们不一样。它们比地球还大，由比任何茶壶都热的气体组成。它们没有眼睛，但有时有很多触手。他们漂浮。通常，它们会慢慢改变形状，然后在大约一个月的时间里消失在太阳上。但有时，它们会突然爆炸，向太阳系释放高能粒子，从而攻击地球。这是一个巨大的日珥，大约两周前在氢的光线下拍摄的。美国亚利桑那州吉尔伯特市的一架小型望远镜捕捉到了这一奇异的气体羽流，它被太阳表面附近一直存在但不断变化的磁场高举在空中。随着2025年太阳活动极大期的临近，活跃的太阳继续呈现出异常多的日珥、细丝、太阳黑子和大型活动区。

The monsters that live on the Sun are not like us. They are larger than the Earth and made of gas hotter than in any teapot. They have no eyes, but at times, many tentacles. They float. Usually, they slowly change shape and just fade back onto the Sun over about a month. Sometimes, though, they suddenly explode and unleash energetic particles into the Solar System that can attack the Earth. Pictured is a huge solar prominence imaged almost two weeks ago in the light of hydrogen. Captured by a small telescope in Gilbert, Arizona, USA, the monsteresque plume of gas was held aloft by the ever-present but ever-changing magnetic field near the surface of the Sun. Our active Sun continues to show an unusually high number of prominences, filaments, sunspots, and large active regions as solar maximum approaches in 2025.
