NASA Captures Spectacular Eruption On Sun



NASA’s  Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite has captured video images of a massive explosion that erupted from the edge of the Sun on Wednesday. The explosion, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), can shoot over a billion tonnes of particles into space at more than one million miles per hour (1.6 million km per hour), NASA said on its website. The CME occurred on the Suns limb and is not headed toward Earth and the particles in a gigantic rolling wave shot into space are headed in a different direction.
