Thanks to this report for the video - Explosions of charged particles from the Sun, known as Coronal Mass Ejections (CME), are being observed in more detail by a NASA mission aimed at helping scientists better predict space weather events. A new video stitched together using the first PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission images captured these eruptions from the Sun from May to June. The result is the stunning time-lapse video above.
PUNCH launched into polar orbit on March 11 to create 3D observations of the Sun’s outer atmosphere. The mission consists of four suitcase-sized spacecraft, each with an imager onboard. The four spacecraft work in tandem to form a single “virtual instrument,” according to NASA.
In the video, CMES are seen blasting out and moving in all directions. The CME imagery was taken using PUNCH’s three Wide Field Imagers and a Narrow Field Imager. The spacecraft includes a coronagraph, which blocks out the bright light of the Sun revealing the details of the Sun’s atmosphere, enabling the views.
