Ejecção de Massa Coronal anteontem que não afectou a Terra:

CME BUBBLE:
Yesterday, Dec. 8th, something exploded on the far side of the sun. The blast propelled a huge bubble of magnetized plasma over the sun's western limb where the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) photographed it expanding into space




The bubble (a coronal mass ejection or "CME") is heading in the general direction of Saturn and will not hit Earth. Nevertheless, it does merit our attention. After a long spell of eerie quiet, the sun is showing signs of life, raising expectations that solar minimum is coming to an end. The months ahead will likely bring more CMEs, and not all of them will miss. Stay tuned for space weather.
