An M3-class solar flare that lasted about 3 hours created a massive coronal mass ejection. The Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

Sun, offering a rare glimpse into the dynamic behavior of our star. Captured by Andrea Vanoni, the photograph showcases these ...

The coronal mass ejection video was captured over one hour and 15 minutes, Ayoub shared in his Reddit post. He then sped up the video to around five seconds so that viewers could watch the action ...

Helio Highlights: July… When astronauts return to the Moon, they will need to know what the Sun is doing in order to keep ...

A coronal mass ejection (CME) took place on Sunday, meaning there was a huge ejection of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona, typically caused by a build-up of magnetic energy.

A cloud of hot, magnetized plasma — a coronal mass ejection — erupted from the Sun on Wednesday, July 23, headed off into ...

Coronal mass ejections are regular space weather events involving huge, fast-moving expulsions of plasma from the Sun’s surface. They’re routinely observed by a bevy of telescopes, and ...

How fast does a coronal mass ejection travel vs. a solar flare? A CME can reach speeds of almost 1,900 miles per second. At that speed one can reach Earth in about 15 to 18 hours.

Coronal mass ejections, however, are complicated, with three distinct mechanisms currently in contention for powering the majority of them. But the failed eruptions are somewhere in between, and ...

Solar plasma eruptions are the sum of many parts, a new look at a 2013 coronal mass ejection shows. These bright, energetic bursts happen when loops of magnetism in the sun’s wispy outer ...
