VIDEO OF THE WEEK: THE SPITTING SUN

by Hazed

NASA has released a video of a coronal mass ejection, in which the sun shoots over a billion tons of particles into space at over a million miles per hour.

The time-lapse video condenses two and a half hours into just 12 seconds, and shows the CME erupting from just around the edge of the sun earlier this week. Fortunately, it’s not headed towards the Earth.

It was taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Watch the video here.
