Solar eruptions send shock waves through space; 3D models created by NASA satellites map trajectory

Recently released three-dimensional models of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) give us a much better idea of the process behind these solar eruptions. From the viewpoints of NASA satellites, massive shock waves can be seen rippling out from the Sun, according to an article on Space.com. CMEs are tremendous expulsions of plasma and charged particles from […]
