solar eruption
Stellar plasma explosion
A solar eruption is a sudden, violent release of energy from the sun's surface, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
These events blast radiation, plasma, and magnetic fields into space.
When directed toward Earth, solar eruptions can disrupt satellites, power grids, and communications: The solar eruption triggered auroras visible as far south as Texas.
