"Satellite Captures Giant Eruption From the Sun Today" (Picture)

Satellite captures giant eruption from sun today


By NASA/SDO/AIA
NASA's solar orbiter captured an enormous eruption from the sun today, Space.com  reports.
The "beautiful prominence eruption" occurred at 1:45 p.m. ET and was captured by the Solar Dynamics laboratory.   Although visually spectacular, the resulting solar flare registered only in the middle of the intensity scale (M1.7 class).
It was also reported that this is no danger to Earth..





Comment... Amazing! This reminds me of how small we are..
