     The CME shown was captured by NASA's SDO spacecraft on Aug 31, 2012. The CME was not aimed directly at Earth, but did connect with Earth's magnetosphere, causing spectacular auroras on the night of Sep 3, like this one captured over Whitehorse, Yukon by David Cartier, Sr.

     @wonderofscience I always wonder with these impressive videos how far this is from a real-time representation. So at what speed the ejection actually takes place.

     @wonderofscience Absolutely wonderful and at the same time humbling! And they still say there is no Creator?

     @wonderofscience Wow, and I thought I was impressed with the clarity of my last x-ray compared to my fuzzy prior one 30 years ago.

     I followed the links to where that pic derived but not sure I understand how that was captured. Is that a series of stills stitched together? And what I also don't understand, is that pic as seen or somehow computer enhanced?

     Whatever the process, it's stunning.

     Amazing and humbling.
     Such immense raw power.
     In a galactic context, we are pretty low down on the food chain.
