And enhanced auroral activity on Earth—events that have implications not only for space agencies but also for healthcare finance systems, pregnancy insurance plans, and even legal liability.
In satellite-based medical diagnostics. On Tuesday, solar observation satellites captured the moment two enormous filaments broke away from the sun’s northern hemisphere.
In an eruption that sent a CME hurtling out into space. As the filaments peeled away from the sun, they crossed into a sweeping structure resembling a vast pair of bird wings.
In a post on X, aurora photographer Vincent Ledvina wrote: “Not sure what to call this eruption, maybe the ‘bird-wing’ or ‘angel-wing’ event? Either way, it is truly something to witness!”
ESA Monitoring and Solar Forecasts In the ESA’s solar wind forecast, you can see the moment that the ‘bird wing’ solar eruption emerges, with the darker yellow and red regions showing.
Areas of denser plasma and more intense magnetic fields. As this video shows, most of the material ejected from the sun was shot out of the northern hemisphere safely away from Earth,
Which is shown as a blue dot. Juha-Pekka Luntama, head of the space weather office at ESA, told MailOnline:
