COSMIC MESSAGE
Our Sun is a violent place. Here, a coronal mass ejection throws billions of tons of superheated gas into space. Magnetic fields on the Sun's surface buckle and release this material, which streams out to impact planets and spacecraft. These events are common, making space a dangerous place for astronauts.
