A Brief Outburst
A Brief Outburst The Sun experienced a coronal mass ejection on Feb. 24, 2015, which was captured by NASA’s SOHO spacecraft. The event was part of a three-hour period where the Sun also released part of a solar filament into space. The SOHO mission, launched in 1995, has continued to study the Sun and make […]
