They often follow solar flares and are normally present during a solar prominence eruption. The plasma is released into the solar wind, and can be observed in coronagraph imagery.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Are they rare events?<\/h2>\r\n<p>They do not happen regularly, but they do happen.\u00a0 The last such event was on October 14 (3 days ago):<\/p>\r\n<pre>\"Yesterday, Oct. 14th, something exploded on the sun. Coronagraphs onboard<br \/>the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) saw a cloud of debris (a CME)<br \/>billowing over the edge of the solar disk. This CME will not hit Earth. <br \/>It was launched from the farside of the sun, and the debris is therefore <br \/>heading away from our planet. Sorry, auroraphiles! What exploded? Probably no<br \/>t a sunspot. Sunspots are rare now because of an ongoing deep Solar Minimum. <br \/>More likely, the source was an unstable filament of magnetism that whip-lashed<br \/>in the sun's atmosphere, hurling surrounding gas into space. We can't say for<br \/>sure, however, because the blast site was hidden behind the edge of the sun\".<br \/>(from Space Weather; see tools)<\/pre>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2>How devastating are these events?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Well, according to NASA they are nothing to worry about:<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MEr_h6cUat4\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>2012: Killer Solar Flares Are a Physical Impossibility \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/topics\/earth\/features\/2012-superFlares.html\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/topics\/earth\/features\/2012-superFlares.html<\/a><br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<h2>Discussion<\/h2>\r\n<p>This seems like a PR exercise&#8230;.not that I don&#8217;t trust a scientist with two earrings!\u00a0 It is true that a CME will not be a &#8220;killer&#8221; and humanity will survive.\u00a0 However, our electricity grid will probably not survive.\u00a0 Moreover, this assumes the protection of the earth magneto-sphere which can collapse with magnetic pole shift <strong>which is already happening.<\/strong>\u00a0 Our model of the sun is most probably <strong>wrong.<\/strong>\u00a0 An alternative model is based on electric-magnetic plasma rather than fusion.\u00a0 It is quite possible that the magnetic pole shift on earth is related to sun activity.\u00a0 A decreased or collapsing magnetic earth-shield also allows in more cosmic radiation which in turn effects cloud formation (therefore weather) and increases earthquake activity. All this is linked with our sun and our &#8220;electric-universe&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The weird weather that we are experiencing now as well as the current <strong>Maunder minimum<\/strong> are probably the prelude to a <strong>cooling period<\/strong> which will become apparent next year (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/M_yqIj38UmY\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/M_yqIj38UmY<\/a> ).
