In 2011 June, the Sun unleashed somewhat impressive, medium-sized solar flare as rotation carried active regions of sunpots toward the solar limb. That flare, though, was followed by an astounding gush of magnetized plasma &#8212; a monster filament seen erupting at the Sun&#8217;s edge in this extreme ultraviolet image from NASA&#8217;s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Featured here is a time-lapse video of that hours-long event showing darker, cooler plasma raining down across a broad area of the Sun&#8217;s surface, arcing along otherwise invisible magnetic field lines. An associated coronal mass ejection, a massive cloud of high energy particles, was blasted in the general direction of the Earth,and made a glancing blow to Earth&#8217;s magnetosphere. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap180409.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most spectacular solar sights is an explosive flare.
