Sun eruptions are massive and deadly. Here is an amazing and awesome video of one such enormous eruption from sun surface as captured by NASA's Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamic Observatory spacecraft. The video was captured in UV light. The video is in fact a 90 minute shootout, a new frame every 24 seconds. NASA claims that the scale of the prominence is huge -- the entire Earth would easily fit under the flowing curtain of hot gas. NASA also predicts occurances of more such like prominences in coming years.
