  The very outer solar atmosphere (corona) is very hot with temperatures over a million degrees K, while the photosphere is of the order of 5000 K. Embedded in this hot outer corona are cool, QUOTE ≤ 10,000 K, magnetic structures called solar prominences. As seen on the disk, they are long filamentary structures while on the solar limb they look like intricate loops. In this paper, we present the development of our understanding of solar prominences, which have played a central role in the development of solar science. Solar prominences were first observed during the few minute episodes of total eclipses. The introduction of spectroscopy allowed continuous observations, which also led to information on temperatures, temporal variations and dynamics of the associated plasma. The discovery of strong magnetic fields in sunspots provided a breakthrough in our understanding of the physics of the Sun. Weaker magnetic fields formed both the large and small-scale structures of prominences, their time-variable shapes, and explained why they could remain floating high above the solar surface in the less dense corona. Appearing as dark, thin, elongated filaments against a brighter solar disk, they provided further information through their interaction with and dependence on how magnetic fields are distributed on the solar surface, in the chromosphere and corona. Access to X-ray and short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation in prominences from spacecraft revealed large ranges of temperature in thin layers between the 10,000-degree prominence cores and the surrounding million-degree corona. The advent of increasingly more powerful computers has led to advanced modelling of prominence plasma based on radiative transfer and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) calculations. Theoretical and observational progress has opened up new possible formation mechanisms. The spectacular eruptions of solar prominences have led to a considerable amount of observational and theoretical work on possibly similar events on other stars, which could affect the existence of life on their orbiting planets.

  The IAU promotes astronomy as a tool to strengthen science education of young people in developing regions through its International Schools for Young Astronomers (ISYA) and a Teaching for Astronomy Development (TAD) programme. This article describes briefly the strategy, organization and development of these programmes. The contents of the courses, tutorials and aims for longer-term effects of these programmes are described with focus on the ISYAs.

  High resolution observations from the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope revealed bright, discrete, blob-like structures (which we refer to as solar bullets) in the Hα 656.28 nm line core that appear to propagate laterally across the solar atmosphere as clusters in active regions (ARs). These small-scale structures appear to be field aligned and many bullets become triggered simultaneously and traverse collectively as a cluster. Here, we conduct a follow-up study on these rapidly evolving structures with coincident observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. With the co-aligned data sets, we reveal (a) an evolving multithermal structure in the bullet cluster ranging from chromospheric to at least transition region temperatures, (b) evidence for cascade-like behavior and corresponding bidirectional motions in bullets within the cluster, which indicate that there is a common source of the initial instability leading to bullet formation, and (c) a direct relationship between co-incident bullet velocities observed in Hα and He ii 30.4 nm and an inverse relationship with respect to bullet intensity in these channels. We find evidence supporting that bullets are typically composed of a cooler, higher density core detectable in Hα with a less dense, hotter, and fainter co-moving outer sheath. Bullets unequivocally demonstrate the finely structured nature of the AR corona. We have no clear evidence for bullets being associated with locally heated (or cooled), fast flowing plasma. Fast MHD pulses (such as solitons) could best describe the dynamic properties of bullets whereas the presence of a multithermal structure is new.

  We present simplified calculations of UX Ari B-V colour index and V magnitude for a range of parameter values. The results of our calculations are compared to previously published measurements. We find that our calculations reproduce the well established colour-brightness relation (UX Ari gets bluer as it gets darker) only if the dark spots on the surface of the K star are accompanied by bright facular areas. There is currently an ambiguity between the temperature of the facular areas and the portion of the stellar surface occupied by them.
