Space super cloud (IMAGE)
Caption
A physics team led by the University of Iowa has described a “super expanded” magnetic cloud created by a coronal mass ejection on the sun. The cloud’s dimensions were captured in two intervals of relatively short time and distance by two spacecraft, Solar Orbiter and Wind. Those observations led to findings that the crescent-shaped cloud grew by a fifth of its size as it approached Earth.
