Nasa Footage Of Spectacular Eruption On The Sun
Yesterday morning, a massive eruption occurred on the sun, producing a solar flare and explosion of high energy particles.
NASA later released footage of the spectacle, described by the Geeked on Goddard blog as being "like a fountain of plasma that blasts out of the solar surface, spreads outward, and collapses to splat back down." The video shows darker, relatively cool material splashing back onto the sun's surface as it's drawn in by the star's intense magnetic pull.
