Astronomers spotted the massive explosion expanding its ethereal wings as it barrelled toward Mercury.
A beautiful and ghostly"butterfly" has launched from the sun, unfurling its ethereal, gossamer wings in two expanding arcs of plasma.
CMEs originate from sunspots, regions on the sun's surface where powerful magnetic fields, created by the flow of electrical charges, form knots before abruptly snapping. The resulting release of energy can eject gigantic plumes of solar material from the sun's surface out into the solar system. Once launched, CMEs travel millions of miles per hour, sweeping up charged particles from the solar wind to form a giant, combined wavefront."Most CMEs look like a smoke ring or a halo.
Although our planet's much stronger magnetic field can absorb the high-speed barrage of solar debris, CMEs that strike Earth can still cause impressive geomagnetic storms. During these storms, Earth's magnetic field gets compressed slightly by waves of highly energetic particles. These particles trickle down magnetic-field lines near the poles and agitate molecules in the atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of light to create colorful auroras known as the northern lights.
More intense geomagnetic storms can disrupt our planet's magnetic field powerfully enough to send satellites tumbling to Earth, and scientists have warned that extreme geomagnetic storms could even cripple the internet.
