The Solar Orbiter probe of the European Space Agency (ESA) made a kind of record of a filament crossing the surface of the Sun. The images were taken in September and posted this week. In the video we can see the chain colder atmospheric gases cross the Sun’s magnetic field🇧🇷 The event was called “Sun Serpent” because of the resemblance to a snake.

The pilots of the planes in Porto Alegre saw a UFO, is it true?

The time-lapse was created from images captured by the spacecraft’s ultraviolet sensor on September 5, according to the ESA. Although it takes about a second for the Solar Serpent to cross the Sun in the video, in reality the event lasted three hours at an estimated speed of 170 km/s🇧🇷

If you look closely at the video, you can see at the point where the “snake” appears, an eruption of plasma. The European Space Agency claims that the recording was one of the most important for Solar Orbiter since its launch in 2020. Though short, the images show the Sun’s interesting behavior and provide important insight into this important star in sustaining life on our planet.

An eruption could affect the Earth

The trapped eruption resulted in a massive coronal mass ejection (CME). CMEs are concentrated in magnetized plasma and can interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field. It is possible that such events cause geomagnetic storms, accompanied by the formation of auroras🇧🇷

Coronal mass ejections can also affect the operation of satellites, which could be detrimental to space missions. In addition, storms can cause temporary outages of radio signals around the planet, affecting communications. For now, the ESA Solar Orbiter will continue its work of observing the behavior of the Sun as it revolves around the Sun’s orbit.
