Circular Coronal Mass Ejection
A coronal mass ejection (CME)
erupted from just around the edge of the sun on May 1, 2013, in a
gigantic rolling wave. CMEs can shoot over a billion tons of particles
into space at over a million miles per hour. This CME occurred on the
sun’s limb and is not headed toward Earth. The video, taken in extreme
ultraviolet light by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), covers
about two and a half hours. Credit: NASA/SDO
