Puff the Magic Sun: A suite of our sun-gazing spacecraft have spotted an unusual series of eruptions in which a series of fast puffs forced the slow ejection of a massive burst of solar material from the sun's atmosphere. The eruptions took place over a period of three days, starting on Jan. 17, 2013.
This combination of three wavelengths of light from our Solar Dynamics Observatory shows one of the multiple jets that led to a series of slow coronal puffs. The light has been colorized in red, green and blue.
