The
Solar Heliospheric Observatory captured the coronal mass ejection (CME)
in this video (which shows the sun's activity from January 19 to
January 23). The CME is associate with an M8.7 class solar flare from
AR1402. The end of the movie shows the interference caused by the
onslaught of fast, energetic solar particles emitted from the sun.
