On August 31, 2012, a powerful CME erupted from the solar's ecosystem. This film suggests the CME from a number of viewpoints as captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), and the joint ESA/NASA Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).

The CME become very massive and traveled faraway from the sun at over 900 miles in step with 2nd. It did not at once hit Earth, however it did graze Earth's magnetic discipline, causing a geomagnetic storm. The CME also disrupted radio communications and broken some satellites.

This film is a treasured device for scientists who're studying CMEs and their consequences on Earth. It facilitates us to higher apprehend the formation and evolution of CMEs, as well as their capacity impact on our planet.
