All Things Space, UFOs, etc.Sun news: Two eruptions launch sun-stuff into space Posted on July 31, 2025 by Administrator Sun news July 31: Two eruptions launch sun-stuff into space – Yesterday evening, a long-lived prominence we’ve been watching on the southwest horizon finally erupted, hurling plasma into space. As seen by the SOHO spacecraft’s LASCO instrument, this coronal mass ejection (CME) soared out from our star in a textbook lightbulb shape. Forecasters’ models suggest a glancing blow to Earth is possible on August 2. At nearly the same time as this eruption, a massive filament in the northeast quadrant also erupted and launched material into space (see below). Early observations suggest this blast was directed too far north to affect Earth, but modeling is still underway. Stay tuned for updates as new data arrives.
