"Rare Solar Eruption: Spectacular Images Capture 200,000km-High Wall of Plasma Strangling the Sun"

Astrophotographer Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau captured a stunning image of a 200,000km-high wall of plasma erupting from the 5,600°C surface of the Sun, describing it as a rare and enormous prominence that soared above the sun's south pole. The image, taken on February 18, required overcoming challenges such as high temperatures, turbulence, and atmospheric instability. Using the "Lucky Imaging" technique, Poupeau stacked multiple frames to reduce digital noise and capture the remarkable spectacle, showcasing his lifelong fascination with the universe and its mysteries.
