NASA recently
released super exciting footage of the first coronal mass ejection, or CME, as captured by its sun-watching spacecraft Solar Orbiter Heliospheric Imager (SoloHI). The video appears as a sudden gust of white that expands into the solar wind. What makes this footage special is that it’s the first solar eruption captured by SoIoHI.
“We ve realized in the last 25 years that there s a lot that happens to a CME between the surface of the Sun and Earth,” said Robin Colaninno, principal investigator for SoloHI at the US Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. “So we re hoping to get much better resolution images of all of these outflows by being closer to the Sun.”
