Space science experts have predicted that a massive Solar storm is heading to Earth. The Sun’s explosion erupted 2,00,000 km long filament. The sun seems to be in a pretty active mood as it has been throwing solar explosions and solar storms to earth. And the latest is a 200000 Km long solar filament erupted on the solar surface leaving scientists and researchers worried about a possible solar storm directed at Earth.

Horrific solar filament explodes on our Sun; it is so big, Earth could disappear in it

Giant solar filament big enough to swallow earth has erupted on the Sun's surface near sunspot AR3089. The Sun is getting fiery as it reaches near the peak of its 11-year solar cycle resulting in a huge number of solar flares and solar filaments exploding on its surface. Recently, one such filament was seen on the sun's surface near sunspot AR3089. According to spaceweather.com, the magnetic filament became unstable with its debris forming a "canyon of fire." And the walls of the canyon expand nearly 20,000 kilometres in height. As per the reports the hole is so big Earth would disappear in it. Astronomers are now expecting a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) to erupt from the sunspot.Coronal mass ejections, or CME, are large clou...
