Anomaly detected on the Sun Something exploded on the far side of the sun. It was very strong, the explosion was HUGE. NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft recorded a grandiose coronal mass ejection (CME) that appeared late on February 15 (https://bit.ly/3gRq3r1). This coronal ejection will not hit the Earth directly - it is moving away from us, not towards our planet. However, if such a CME does hit, it could cause a very strong geomagnetic storm. We may have dodged a bullet. STEREO-A also observed the release of plasma from the site of the explosion. Mileage was more than 400,000 km. See Video: (https://youtu.be/-skNRgaqThU).
