About this work
With its C2 coronagraph instrument, NASA's satellite SOHO captured a blossoming coronal mass ejection (CME) as it roared into space from the right side of the Sun (Dec. 28, 2013). SOHO also produces running difference images and movies of the Sun's corona in which the difference between one image and the next (taken about 10 minutes apart) is highlighted. This technique strongly emphasizes the changes that occurred.
