MAGNETIC FILAMENT ERUPTION: Today (Sept 23rd around 13:30 UT), a large filament of magnetism near the sun's southwestern limb became unstable and erupted. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast: https://imgur.com/cDhiAuw Shortly after the explosion, the US Air Force reported a Type II solar radio burst, a natural form of radio emission produced by shock waves moving through the sun's atmosphere. Characteristics of the burst suggest that a CME was being hurled into space at a speed of 820 km/s (1.8 million mph). Will it hit Earth? Probably not. The explosion occured near the edge of the Earth strike zone. Fresh data from SOHO coronagraphs are required for confirmation. Stay tuned. [ link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] Quoting: Simple27 An enormous 'Blob' of plasma was ejected with this CME. I noticed that 8 hours later the blob was still intact (as seen by SoHO C3). It appears to be at least 8 solar diameters away from its footpoint. I can't recall seeing anything like this. Imagine a chunk of CME like this hitting Earth's magnetosphere. Every event can show us something new to learn from. :9/23/22_Blob:
