A massive solar filament erupted today (May 7), producing a stunning display that spanned the sun's eastern limb and reached deep into the solar disk. "The sun is doing just enough to show that it ...

A massive filament eruption on the sun carved out a ~250,000-mile-long (~400,000 km) 'canyon of fire'. See time-lapsed footage from the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory here. Footage courtesy: NASA / ...

A long filament of roiling plasma arcing over the sun’s surface snapped this week, leaving behind a scalding scar that has been dubbed a “canyon of fire.” It also spat a burst of solar plasma into ...

A dark line snaked across the lower half of the sun on Feb.10, 2015, as seen in this image from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO. SDO shows colder material as dark and hotter material as ...

A dark, almost circular filament broke away from the sun in a gauzy, feathery swirl, on Nov. 15, 2015, in this video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. This filament eruption was followed by a ...
