The Power of the Sun - Solar Flares A gigantic, fiery eruption around 40 times wider than Earth recently exploded from the sun's hidden far side. The eruption hurled a massive cloud of plasma into space that later smashed into Mercury, scouring the planet's rocky surface and potentially triggering "X-ray auroras" on the unprotected world. The eruption was likely triggered by a powerful solar flare, which occurred around 7 p.m. ET on March 9, Spaceweather.com reported. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spotted a large, partially obscured plasma filament exploding outward from behind the sun's northeast limb. Based on the amount of visible plasma, the eruption likely spanned around 310,000 miles (500,000 kilometers) across. SDO data showed that the explosion, which likely left behind a massive "canyon of fire" on the sun's surface, also released a large coronal mass ejection (CME) — a fast-moving cloud of magnetized plasma and radiation — that collided with Mercury on March 10.Content from NASA/ESA/CSA official website Animation from NASA.ESO.Pixapay and space Engine Music from TunTank Script, Edit and voice : M LOGABALAKARTHIKEYAN SEO By Meena If you want to follow me on social websites touch the link below 😊 vinveli Thagaval : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEde8HUzom-L4lRxo1Oe8fA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zenithofscience Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Zenithofscience Twitter: https://twitter.com/logabalakarthi3 Share chat : https://sharechat.com/profile/zenithofscience?d=n என்னை மேலும் ஆதரிக்க: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCimELbi00gpqBzwXv6Zw2qA/join -------------- Disclaimer Fair Use: 1.
