A few times visible phenomenon in which our sun king expels a considerable amount of solar material “coronal mass ejection (CME)”. These phenomena associated with significant changes in magnetic fields can be of different nature.
The video shows one of them in which the mass ejected by gravitational effect returns as “rain”. The proportions of the phenomenon are illustrated by comparing the flare with the size of planet earth.
On July 19, 2012, an eruption occurred on the sun that produced a moderately powerful solar flare and a dazzling magnetic display known as coronal rain. Hot plasma in the corona cooled and condensed along strong magnetic fields in the region. Magnetic fields, are invisible, but the charged plasma is forced to move along the lines, showing up brightly in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength of 304 Angstroms, and outlining the fields as it slowly falls back to the solar surface.
