#PhotoOfTheDay: A Brief #Outburst

The Sun blew out a coronal mass ejection along with part of a solar filament over a three-hour period in Feb, 2015.

The NASA-ESA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft captured this extreme ultraviolet wavelength image of the Sun.

A coronal mass ejection (#CME) is a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields rising from the Sun's corona and being released into space.

These eruptions can trigger geomagnetic storms on Earth, potentially disrupting satellite communications and power grids.
