Wow! Sun shoots 1.6 million mile plasma plume, astronomer gets incredible photo
Our Sun is an interesting celestrial object in the solar system. Other than holding together its surrounding planets, the Sun is a source of energy for Earth and its life as we know. However, the Sun isn't just a massive gas and light ball – things happen on it and they could vanish us from existence! A recent solar activity led to a massive coronal ejection that was measured at 1.6 million miles in length. Yes, over a million miles! And one astronomer captured it and shared it with the world.
