The giant solar eruption is a stark reminder of how volatile the Sun can be. The event was captured as a solar prominence spread out from the solar ball. Solar prominences are often associated with coronal mass ejections from the Sun’s surface. Sometimes they occur facing the Earth and it wreaks havoc on our technology, and the planet itself.
You can check out a side-by-side view of the eruption captured by the ESA’s Solar Orbiter above, as well as a video captured by the ESA/NASA SOHO Satellite. The video on the right shows the giant solar eruption without the glare of the Sun’s surface.
