One more picture of prominences (Fig. 80) is introduced to show the continuous stretch of chromosphere out of which they spring.
In the same way as the corona, the chromosphere and prominences were for a time supposed to belong to the moon.
When the chromosphere, in its turn during a total eclipse, has been covered by the moon, the corona alone is left.
The Corona lies next in order outside the chromosphere, and is, so far as we know, the outermost of the accompaniments of the sun.
The eruptive prominences spurt up directly from the chromosphere with immense speeds, and change their shape with great rapidity.
