Gigantic "tsunami" Captured On Sun

My Top 3

Check out the first footage of a gigantic tsunami captured plowing through our Sun’s atmosphere. The event was triggered by some sort of explosion on the Sun such as a solar flare or coronal mass ejection (CME). The outward-spreading wave spanned the nearly one million kilometers (600,000 miles) of the solar disk in just half an hour. But it’s the amount of energy released that is truly mind-boggling. According to one of the researchers, these explosions release about two billion times the annual world energy consumption in just a fraction of a second.
