Could be good, less of a sun, less heat, lol.

Maybe next half the Earth will break off... We'll have to build a bridge in space to connect each side.

I think that would be the rainbow bridge .

The filaments (Solar Flares) do not break loose from the sun. They absorb back in. This filament actually broke away and is now circling the pole at the top of the sun on its own. The pic below shows the filament at the top as it was breaking away.

Talk about Polar Vortex! Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star.

I see, I guess I was expecting a chunk of the round part to be missing lol. Thinking about it, the sun being just gasses that wouldn't make sense. Thanks Debi.

are we gonna have two suns now..........lol

If so then technically it's a new born sun or son. We will need to watch in about 16 years to see if it becomes rebellious and either starts smoking or goes through a moody black hole phase.

Easy to follow explanation:

Did a Piece of the Sun Really Break Off? | Coast to Coast AM

Some rather sensational headlines have come out this past week about a huge chunk of the sun breaking off and creating a tornado-like vortex. No piece of the sun actually broke off.
