August 3, 201015 yr The Solar Dynamics Observatory of NASA spotted a solar eruption or “coronal mass ejection” with a high definition view of the sun on Sunday. The eruption of the Sun’s surface has rocketed plasma into space that is on the path to meet our planet in the overnight and early morning hours of August 3 -4. A representative of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Leon Golub stated, “It’s the first major Earth directed eruption in some time”. He continues to comment, “We got a beautiful view of this eruption," Golub said. "And there might be more beautiful views to come if it triggers aurorae." Although the view of the light show is usually seen from Canada and Alaska, it is being reported by Space.com that “sky watchers in the northern United States mainland will be able to look toward the north Tuesday and Wednesday evening for rippling curtains of green and red light”.
