A Solar Filament Erupts
In 2012, a solar filament erupted from the Sun, producing a Coronal Mass Ejection. Filaments are structures of cool, dense plasma suspended above the Sun's surface by magnetic fields. The Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this energetic event, which sent electrons and ions into the Solar System.
