   A spectacular filament of magnetism is snaking around the sun's southeastern   
   limb.  From end to end it stretches more than 700,000 km--a full solar radius   
   or almost twice the distance from Earth to the Moon. The massive structure is   
   an easy target for backyard telescopes (monitoring is encouraged) and it has   
   the potential for an impressive eruption if it happens to collapse in the   
   hours or days ahead.  Check http://spaceweather.com for pictures and updates.
