Huge Filament of Magnetism launched from the Sun ...Film inside

On Jan. 8th, a huge filament of magnetism launched itself off the surface of the sun. NOAA's GOES-16 satellite recorded the eruption:

The arcing plumes of hot plasma were so large--looping more than a million km from surface to apex--they didn't fit in the field of view of most solar observatories. GOES-16, however, was able to capture much of their structure. It was a magnificent eruption.
