The ejection is essentially a huge cloud of plasma that could hit the Earth and cause a shock wave, affecting communications systems. If an ejection were to hit Earth on Friday, scientists expect it would only cause a minor geo-magnetic storm, according to NOAA. The flares were observed by NASA, which posted stunning photos and videos of the events on its website.

Mark Paquette, a meteorologist with the weather site, told Galimberti that solar flares are like a “burp” from the sun. "The 'burp' releases a stream of particles that comes away from the sun's surface and sets the whole thing in motion," he said. According to Space.com, the latest flare on Wednesday was the eighth documented example so far in 2014 of an X-level event—the strongest of the solar flares. Even the X2.2 spotted this week was small compared to the strongest in recent months, though: in February, NASA cameras caught a colossal X4.9 glare occur on the sun. [link to rt.com] |

The huge plasma tendril, known as a solar filament, erupted on Wednesday (June 4), blowing part of itself out into space in what astronomers call a coronal mass ejection, or CME. NASA's powerful Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded video of the solar filament eruption while the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory tracked the subsequent CME. [link to www.space.com] |
