Magnificent Coronal Mass Ejection erupts on the Sun
On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the suns atmosphere, the corona, erupted out into space. The coronal mass ejection, or CME, traveled at over 900 miles per second. The CME did not travel directly toward Earth, but did connect with Earths magnetic environment, or magnetosphere, causing aurora to appear on the night of Monday, September 3. Picutred here is an overlay blended version of the 304 and 171 angstrom wavelengths

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a truly magnificent event in our solar system - a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupting on the Sun. On August 31,2012, a long filament of solar material that had been suspended in the sun's atmosphere suddenly burst out into space. Traveling at an astonishing speed of over 900 miles per second, this CME did not directly head towards Earth but interacted with our planet's magnetic environment known as the magnetosphere. The result of this interaction was a breathtaking display of natural beauty on the night of Monday, September 3. The connection between the CME and Earth's magnetosphere caused vibrant auroras to illuminate the sky. This particular image is an overlay blended version captured using both the 304 and 171 angstrom wavelengths. With its fiery hues and spherical shape against a black background, this photograph perfectly captures the intensity and power unleashed during such cosmic events. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected we are with our celestial surroundings and how they can influence phenomena here on Earth. This stunning piece from Stocktrek Images offers us a glimpse into the awe-inspiring wonders that occur within our vast universe while reminding us of humanity's small place amidst it all.
