600,000 km-long filament is snaking around the sun's southwestern horizon

A dark filament of magnetism is snaking around the sun's southwestern horizon, and it could be poised to erupt. The 600,000 km-long structure has shown considerable instability since it began lifting up from the stellar surface yesterday

This from Steve Rother,
"...the suns continued eruptions are starting to alter what we know as matter. Its not the end of the world unless we decide to go into fear and make it so. It is a clearly an evolutionary process that will take everything to the next level. It could be said that the lump of coal is turning into a diamond right before your eyes!"
