2/24/2012 — Large Solar filament rupture — not earth directed CME

 

A very large filament rupture — producing a non-earth directed CME (coronal mass ejection) — this one is fairly large — and in the next two days we will see the whole high resolution image come through.

Just want to show you something cool that doesn’t occur every day (on such a large scale).

here is the link to the SDO website, search through todays date (2/24/2012).
