Opis:

A solar tsunami is launched by huge explosions near the Sun's atmosphere, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These waves can travel at over a million kilometers per hour across the surface of the Sun. This tsunami took place on 19 May 2007 and lasted for about 35 minutes, reaching peak speeds around 20 minutes after the initial blast. The observations were made by a team from Trinity College, Dublin.
