Sun Spews 'Dark Plasma' Into Space From Its Far Side

With new space discoveries making headlines every day, did you know that the sun has just recently spewed dark plasma into space from its far side? But what do you know about this dark plasma? Or better do you know that this event has caused a geomagnetic storm disrupting life on Earth? If you are curious to find out more about this new discovery by scientists, then watch this video till the end.

Coming back to the point, just recently, coronagraphs at NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite (SOHO), an Earth-orbiting spacecraft jointly controlled by NASA and the European Space Agency, both picked up an eruption of dark plasma spewed by our sun on March 11. According to Spaceweather.com, SOHO observed a coronal mass ejection (CME), a torrent of plasma that exited from the sun’s southwest limb. And if you did not know by now, Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's atmosphere also known as the corona. Moreover, compared to solar flares which are bursts of electromagnetic radiation traveling at the speed of light, reaching Earth in just over 8 minutes it is observed that CMEs travel at a more leisurely pace, relatively speaking. For instance, did you know that according to the Space Weather Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), at their highest speeds of almost 1,900 miles per second (3,000 kilometers per second), CMEs can reach Earth in about 15 to 18 hours whilst slower CMEs traveling around 155 mi/s (250 km/s) can take several days to arrive? What’s more is that these colossal clouds of plasma have two extremes either they wreak havoc by destroying and damaging power grids and satellites, or on the other hand, they can also trigger stunning aurora displays. So now with the introduction of CME out of the way, according to Spaceweather, this “dark plasma” that the sun has spewed into space from its far side is not dark in the same sense as dark matter or dark energy; instead, it is cooler, less luminous, and denser than the gas surrounding the background sun. But if you are wondering, how did scientists observe this difficult-to-see dark plasma in the first place? #nasa #jameswebbspacetelescope #jameswebb #telescope #alien #aliens #planet #discovery #newplanet #space #spacefacts #mystery #mysteriousfacts #jwst #jwstimages
