NASA SDO - Spectacular Prominence Eruption, June 7, 2011
Loading...
Uploaded by LittleSDOHMI on Jun 7, 2011
The Sun unleashed an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a substantial coronal mass ejection (CME) on June 7 that is visually spectacular. The large cloud of particles mushroomed up and fell back down looking as if it covered an area of almost half the solar surface.
SDO observed the flare's peak at 1:41 AM EST. SDO recorded these images in extreme ultraviolet light and they show a very large explosion of cool gas. It is somewhat unique because at many places in the eruption there seems to be even cooler material -- at temperatures less than 80,000K.
When viewed in SOHO's coronagraphs, the event shows bright plasma and high-energy particles roaring from the Sun. This Earth-directed CME is moving at 1400 km/s according to NASA models. Due to its angle, however, effects on Earth should be fairly small. Nevertheless, it may generate space weather effects here on Earth in a few days.

For perspective, that eruption is roughly 20 times the size of the Earth. The cloud of debris from the eruption is roughly 200 times the size of the Earth.

What would happen if the eruption blew in our direction? Would the earth overheat, burn up, or just make a gigantic heat wave?
