Solar Orbiter mission spots eruption from the sun CNN 3 hrs ago By Ashley Strickland, CNN © Solar Orbiter/EUI Team/Metis Team/SoloHI team/ESA/NASA This imagery comes from three different instruments on Solar Orbiter showing eruptions happening on the sun. A happy accident has resulted in the Solar Orbiter mission spying eruptions from the sun. These eruptions, called coronal mass ejections, blast out solar particles across the solar system and have the potential to disrupt technology if they reach Earth. These eruptions were detected by multiple instruments on the spacecraft during a close flyby of the sun, which is called a perihelion, on February 10. This flyby brought the spacecraft within 46.5 million miles of the sun that s half the distance between the massive star and Earth.
