Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...

Such mighty solar flares are often accompanied with events called "coronal mass ejections," or CMEs, which are massive ejections of super hot gas (like throwing a chunk of the sun into space).
