THE LEANING TOWER OF PLASMA: For days, astronomers around the world have been monitoring a tower of plasma sticking out of the sun\'s southern hemisphere. Philippe Tosi sends this Aug. 30th photo from Nîmes, France:
The structure, twisting like a tornado 20 times taller than Earth, has persisted longer than most prominences do, attracting plenty of attention. Everyone can put away their telescopes now. The sun just ejected the tower into space. Watch this movie from NASA\'s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
