NASA ’s Solar Dynamics Observatorycaptured a vast filament on the unhappy face of our Sun on February 10th . The chilling crack , which search like a face on the surface of the star , is actually an enormous swatch of frigid material vibrate in the sunlight ’s atmosphere .
Scientists at NASA ’s Goddard Space Flight Center explain :
SDO shows cold material as dark and hot material as light , so the line is , in fact , an tremendous swatch of colder material oscillate in the Sunday ’s atmospheric state , the corona . Stretched out , that line – or solar filament as scientist call it – would be more than 533,000 mile long . That is longer than 67 Earths draw up in a row . filament can float sedately for days before go away . Sometimes they also break through out into space , releasing solar fabric in a shower that either rains back down or take to the woods out into space , becoming a moving cloud known as a coronal mass ejection , or CME .
Here is the full effigy ; get across on the magnifying methamphetamine and expound it to fill your screen :
