A huge swirling vortex of plasma was captured by shooting from the sun.
Astonishing footageshows the twister of the sun, which is the equivalent of a tornado at a height of 12,000 miles.
The stunning video was captured by astronomer ApolloLasky. According to
SpaceWeather.com, Lasky captured the Sun Twister on June 21st.
The emission was said to be part of a "solar storm system" that was large enough to "swallow the Earth" if it was nearby.
Fortunately, the eruption did not face the earth.
In fact, most of the plasma emissions have returned to the surface of the Sun.
The rest of the solar material was thrown into space.
Lasky was said to use a backyard solar telescope to capture footage.
He is Illinois and his Astrobin The profile states: "It is famous for being expelled from all astronomy forums thanks to the solar telescope.
" Safety is my number one priority and nothing I do is safe. "
This video has been released as space weather experts are paying attention to the recently doubled size "giant sunspots" . I did.
Unstable patches on the surface of the Sun face the Earth directly, which can cause solar flares to disperse if they explode.
Solar flares are not expected to hit yet, but they are possible if the sunspots continue to grow and behave erratically.
