| 説明 | The sun has been quiet for a few days, but erupted with an M-class flare that peaked at 9:47 PM EDT on May 17, 2012. These images from the joint ESA/NASA mission the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) show a coronal mass ejection (CME) that was associated with the flare. The CME burst from the sun at 9:48 PM EDT, traveling at over 930 miles per second. NASA models suggest that the CME will not impact Earth and cause a geomagnetic storm, however it may pass by the Messenger and STEREO A spacecraft. NASA labels CMEs at this fairly fast, but not extreme, speed as Type O –for "occasional," since CMEs with speeds in this range happen a few times per year.
