Thank you, facettes, for sharing that. Size and distance are so difficult to wrap the mind around when you begin zooming back from this planet, especially, as IGW was indicating, when you consider that our sun is a marble relative to other stars.
If one of those prominences stretched near to the Earth, the half of the planet facing the sun would see a sky of only burning fire and light.
Presuming the arc didn't first burn the atmosphere away or explode the planet.
