Yesterday,something on the far side of the sun exploded, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into space.
This is the second day in a row that a CME has rocketed into view from behind the sun's eastern limb. (Movies: Jan. 24, Jan. 25) An active sunspot must be lurking just around the corner. It should appear in a few days when the sun's rotation carries that part of the sun into view. Stay tuned for solar activity.
