Full Sun showing coronal mass ejection
June 7, 2011 - An M-2 flare occurred on the Sun which released a very large coronal mass ejection (CME). At this wavelength, very little of the ejected material is visible. However, it is possible to see locations where some of the material is falling back and striking the solar surface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in space as the Sun unleashes its power through a coronal mass ejection (CME). On June 7,2011, an M-2 flare occurred on the surface of our star, resulting in the release of an immense amount of material. Although this particular wavelength reveals only a fraction of the ejected matter, it unveils fascinating details about its trajectory. Against a backdrop of deep blackness, we witness remnants of the CME falling back and striking the scorching solar surface. The spherical shape created by these impacts forms a stunning circle that dominates the frame. The vibrant orange hue signifies intense heat and high temperatures associated with such solar phenomena. The image showcases various features inherent to our closest star's anatomy. Sunspots dot its surface while prominences rise from within its atmosphere. Transition regions between different layers like corona, chromosphere, and photosphere are also visible. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a reminder of both the beauty and power present in our universe. It offers insight into astrophysics and helps us understand how plasma interacts within dwarf stars like ours – yellow dwarfs. As we delve deeper into space exploration and study space weather patterns during solar cycles, images like this become invaluable resources for scientists seeking to comprehend these celestial events fully. This square color image is not just visually appealing but also contributes significantly to our understanding of our dynamic sun's behavior.
