The solar snake allows scientists to see the magnetic field moving, but it's what it's moving away from that makes it even more intriguing.
Shortly after the filament carved its path across the Sun, its starting point erupted in a coronal mass ejection, sending plasma blasting out into space.
These eruptions are usually associated with sunspots, regions of concentrated magnetic field lines on the Sun. These magnetic field lines tangle, snap, and reconnect, producing coronal mass ejections and sometimes solar flares.
It's possible the snake was somehow connected to one of the most powerful detected by Solar Orbiter since it was launched in February 2020, perhaps as a precursor to the eruption.

Makes me think that all of our ancient cultures were obsessed with snakes. Maybe this is what they were referring to?
Quetzalcoatl in Mexico - feathered serpent
Surpent mound in Louisiana - pointing directly at the sun
The serpent in the bible
The legend of the Iroquois serpent
Theirs carvings of serpents in turkey - somewhere close to Gobeklitepe
Egyptalso mentioned them
There's more but I can remember them

They couldn't see the image (and neither could you, actually.) That's not done with visible light photography.
