Original – On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the Sun's atmosphere, the Corona, erupted out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT
Reason
Absolutely fantastic image of part of the sun, it doesn't appear in the sun article at the moment, although I'm sure we could make space for it. This was the runner up image in POTY 2012 on the commons
