Sometimes, a solar flare and a coronal mass ejection (or CME) happen at the same time. A CME is an eruption of plasma and ...

Here’s how it works. The sun is far from quiet. Yesterday, Dec. 17, the sun fired out an 'extremely rare' farside coronal mass ejection (CME) — a vast plume of plasma and magnetic field.

This year, Shadia Habbal, a solar eclipse researcher at the University of Hawaii, is hoping to record and analyse coronal mass ejections, which occur when the sun’s churning magnetic field ...

This mission focuses on studying Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), which are massive bursts of solar materials and magnetic energy that shoot out from the Sun's outer layer. Their findings ...
