Solar prominences in special shapes= what a coincidence

Solar prominences are ionized super heated clouds of hydrogen twisted and lifted aloft by solar magnetic fields. They can often be seen with special choronographs (lLinkight blocking telescope) and during total solar eclipses. They are common, but how often do they twist into this shape (on 12/25/2007).
