Conspiracy theories claim mysterious planet-sized 'Death Star' has been captured on video as it 'refuels' at the surface of the sun
A solar prominence (also known as a filament when viewed against the solar disc) is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface. 'Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface and extend outwards into the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, called the corona. 'Scientists are still researching how and why prominences are formed. 'An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma. Nasa's Solar Dynamics Observatory frequently captures the phenomenon - although often as violent eruptions, rather than the eerie sphere of this week's activity. ‘It is not uncommon for prominence material to drain back to the surface as well as escape during an eruption,’ says Holly Gilbert a Goddard solar physicist. ‘Prominences are large structures, so once the magnetic fields supporting the mass are stretched out so that they are more vertical, it allows an easy path for some of the mass to drain back down.

I'm not one to argue a point, but the image you show is not this.
There is nothing wrong with arguiing a point to get the facts straight.
I said it was a CME and posted that pic but was a bit mistaken It is a filament. In the other Alien invasion thread I posted pics of other similar filaments. .
This is definately a filament. What sphere are you talking about? All see is a crescent shape at the top of the filament as it blast into space.
What are you suggesting it is?edit on 15-3-2012 by bastardo because: (no reason given)

Here ya go Bastardo. I was looking for something to put a bow on the anomoly we were discussing. This does it for me. He calls it a "Coronal cavity". Still is kinda strange thow.

That guy in that clip is lying through his teeth. The epitome of a NASA employee. He really has no clue, but was ordered to say something plausible to distract the most gullible lest his wife and kids would suffer at the iron fist of the government ordering this coverup. Try contacting this guy IRL and you will see what i mean.

Have you contacted him? What did he say? What basis do you have for believing he is lying? Do you have a degree in astrophysics or a working knowledge of magnetohydrodynamics? You are making a claim that amounts to a personal slur, please be prepared to back it up or apologize.

Do you have any clue what these leading astrophysicists really KNOW about the sun? All they propagate is a bunch of conjecture 90% of which is based on guesswork that is based on other guesswork based on assumptions drawn on a relatively small amount of empirical data about the sun. Did you know they cannot even explain how the Corona can exist? There are no KNOWN laws of physics that would explain it´s existance. Yet they have alot of theories of what a sun flare is, what a coronal hole is and guesswork around them. And you choose to believe them rather than similar conclusions that are actually based on more amounts of evidence. Is this because the people that make them wear a governmental badge of trust? The same government that have been proven to lie, fabricate proof, terrorise their own citizens and arrests and punishes them for using a natural plant that was put here by the same forces that put us here!
Deny ignorance indeed.
