The Sun, our life-sustaining star, is also a for midable force capable of unleashing immense energy bursts. CMEs, massive eruptions from the Sun’s outer corona, travel at blistering speeds of up to 3,000 km/s, carrying charged particles that can disrupt satellites, knock out power grids, and interfere with communication networks.
The research, published in the Astrophysical Journal, can help give a complete picture of the Sun's inner workings.
