'Sun Blast': NASA detects first interplanetary shock on Sun, space fans wowed & scared by stunning visuals

What does explosions on sun look like?

This question has been recently answered by NASA when it posted on Sunday, that its Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MNS) has recorded world's first high-resolution measurements of an interplanetary shock me of particles amd electromagnetic waves launched by Sun.

In stunning animation posted by NASA's Goddard Flight Center/Conceptual Im Lab, Sun seen as a red and fiery glowing ball is seen to emit a chunk of particles and waves off its boiling surface in an apparant shock.

What is interplanetary shock?

An interplanetary shock is a collisionless shock, where articles transfer energy through electromagnetic fields inste of directly bouncing into one ar, according to NASA. While this phemena occurs around universe MNS studies collisionless shocks around Earth, says NASA. Interplanetary shocks start at Sun, which continually releases streams of charged particles called solar wind.

What did NASA capture?

Explaining what exactly MNS' measurements mean, NASA stated that using  unprecedentedly fast and high-resolution instruments , speeding shock waves passing craft  in just half a second were captured by probe. Scientists analyzing data h ticed a clump of ions from solar wind, according to NASA.  Shortly after, y saw a second clump of ions, created by ions alrey in area that h bounced off shock as it passed by.
