Half a million miles of beauty! Scientists from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences have shown what a giant bulge looks like - a cold cloud of gas above the Sun's surface, tangled in magnetic field lines. Such ejections can trigger a powerful magnetic storm on Earth, but this time we were lucky: the bulge will fly past our planet and is unlikely to damage it too much. - If you didn't know that a bump is called a cold! By the way, it is cold only by solar standards - compared to the temperature on the surface of the Sun.
