On June 7, a group of astronomers could successfully capture a photograph of a solar eruption. A report has lately uncovered that the eruption resulted in tons of plasma that are being thrown into space.

Solar Dynamics Observatory of NASA has caught the image of the eruption. It is being said that the descent of the plasma was an interesting source for the astronomers. Since, the same was akin to the way of accumulation of matter by young stars.

Astronomers could witness plasma eruptions on the surface of the star. The report found that the plasma, which was extremely hot, touched temperatures of 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the same could not escape the atmosphere of the Sun and plunged back to the surface of the star.

While it returned to the surface, the solar plasma was able to reach 2 million degrees Fahrenheit temperatures. At the time, the plasma speeds up touching almost 900,000 miles per hour. It has been told that the acceleration caused the plasma to break out.

"We often study young stars to learn about our Sun when it was an 'infant.' Now, we're doing the reverse and studying our Sun to better understand distant stars", affirmed an astronomer from CfA, Paola Testa.
