The Earth isn’t the only planet that has crazy storms! NASA recently captured the Sun’s insane solar storm. This huge explosion is called a solar prominence and it was so big that the camera didn’t even get all of it in frame!

Officials from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center describe the explosion by saying, “The red-glowing looped material is plasma, a hot gas made of electrically charged hydrogen and helium. The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun’s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and burst outward, releasing the plasma.”

Luckily, the explosion that happened on Friday, November 16 was not aimed at Earth!

Be sure to catch the clip of the recent solar tsunami below!
