☀️ A massive explosion erupted last night on the far side of the Sun (IKI RAS).

The bright ejection you see in the footage is plasma being hurled away from the Sun — fortunately, in the opposite direction from Earth.

The dark circle and stripe in the frame aren’t mysterious objects — they mark the blind zones of the coronagraph’s optics, used to block direct sunlight and make solar activity visible.

Even though the blast happened on the far side, it shows just how restless our star remains — constantly storing and releasing titanic amounts of magnetic energy.
