Most prominences are of the active type; they originate high above the chromosphere and pour their streamers down into it. Quiescent prominences are the least active and have the longest lives; their most common form is the "haystack". Eruptive prominences are among the rarer types. These rise from material above the chromosphere, attaining high speeds and great altitudes before they vanish.

CONT

Bright rose-coloured prominences were sometimes seen extending above the edge of the moon’s disk and into the corona.
