On 24 Feb 2015 the Sun "blew out a coronal mass ejection along with part of a solar filament...While some of the strands fell back into the Sun, a substantial part raced into space...Because this occurred way over near the edge of the Sun, it was unlikely to have any effect on Earth" [1350x1350][OS]
