COSMIC MESSAGE

Our Sun is a dynamic star, as seen in this image of a solar prominence erupting on May 15. These events, along with sunspots, are driven by the Sun's changing magnetic field. This particular prominence, captured in ultraviolet light, launched electrons and ions into the solar system.
