Photo-A-Day

Yes, your photos are very amazing. The red solar flare you captured releases enough cosmic radiation to kill astronauts on a 9 month journey to mars. That is why such a journey should not occur until we find a way to have warp drive.

Imagine the height of that tall prominence. I’m too lazy to do the arithmetic but, it’s big.

Based upon dissent's excellent photos this is my estimate. The prominence is about 1/23rd the diameter of the sun. The diameter of the sun is approximately 865,000 miles. Thus one twenty third of 865,000 is 37,608 miles. The prominence is about 37,600 miles tall. The diameter of the earth is 7, 917 miles so 4.75 earths could fit in the height of the prominence. Yes, its big!

A photo from last night's aurora. If anyone from Nikon is viewing this, my compliments to them on the performance on the Z 20mm f/1.8 S! Now, if Nikon can do a Z 14mm f/1.8 S with similar performance, that would be great! No pressure.
