A Large Tsunami Shock Wave on the Sun
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Tsunamis this large do not happen on Earth. In 2006, a large solar flare from an Earth-sized sunspot produced a tsunami-type shock wave on the Sun. The tsunami wave was captured moving out from active region AR 10930 by the Optical Solar Patrol Network, OSPAN, telescope. The resulting shock wave, known as a Moreton wave, compressed and heated gasses, including hydrogen, in the Sun's photosphere.
