Science Note: Solar Flares - Added 06/19/2014 @ 23:00 UTC Spiraling Filament Eruption An impressive filament eruption on Thursday afternoon in the vicinity of region 2093 produced a coronal mass ejection (CME). The event itself registered C4.0 on the X-Ray scale, but it was the ejected material that really put on a show. Watch closely as the plasma swirls around in a vortex like formation following the eruption. A coronal mass ejection (CME) became visible in the latest LASCO coronagraph imagery. More updates regarding a possible Earthward component once additional imagery is available. So far it looks to be headed mostly to the north and east. Video by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) using the 304 angstroms channel.
