The swirling inner layers of
our sun cause charged particles to generate magnetic fields. As charges accumulate
on the surface, magnetic field lines readjust themselves and release huge
quantities of matter and electromagnetic radiation into space. This particular
Mass Ejection is traveling at over 900 miles per second and has an energy
level equivalent to 160,000,000,000 megatons of TNT.
