Paradoxically, prominences are cooler than the surrounding atmosphere. They are columns of sun-stuff trapped and held up in the magnetic fields above the solar surface. The trapped plasma cools, recombines into hydrogen atoms and then emits visible light to show up as a prominence. The glowing gas twists and swirls in the sway of the magnetic fields and can change its appearance from minute to minute.
