coronal mass ejectionAn outward eruption of billions of tonnes of material thrown into space from the Sun's corona. Caused by magnetic storms on the Sun. The most energetic of all solar explosions, they send material at high speed (200 - 400 km/s) into space, and have a great influence on the magnetosphere. They are most frequent around the time of solar maximum.

coronal mass ejectionAn outflow of plasma from or through the solar corona. CMEs are often, but not always, associated with erupting prominences, disappearing solar filaments, and/or flares. CMEs vary widely in structure, density, and velocity. Large and fast CMEs can approach densities of 10E16 g and velocities of 2000 km/s. Earth impacting CMEs can result in signific [..]

coronal mass ejectionAn observable change in coronal structure that (1) occurs on a time scale between a few minutes and several hours and (2) involves the appearance of a new, discrete, bright white-light feature in the coronograph field of view. They are associated with the large-scale, closed magnetic structures in the corona. At times of coronal mass ejections larg [..]
