About this work
This photograph shows a solar prominence in action, one of Skylab's many splendorous views. It was taken on August 21, 1973. Interpretation of the rich store of Skylab ultraviolet solar data was facilitated by computerized color enhancement of the original black-and-white images, highlighting subtle but important brightness differences.
