Sun erupts with an extraordinary mass ejection NASA-GSFC NEWS RELEASE Posted: January 5, 2002
The images from the LASCO coronagraph show a very rapidly expanding coronal mass ejection (CME) blasting billions of tons of particles out from the Sun at about 3.5 million kilometers per hour. The complex structures are caused by magnetic filed structures that were ejected from the Sun. The Sun, blocked by an occulting disk, is represented by the white circle. The bright object just to the right of the Sun is the planet Venus. The bright horisontla streaks is an artifact of the LASCO detector since the planet is too bright for the detector.
