Tsunami has been discovered by two satellites on the surface of the sun. It was reported to have been spreading after a release of matter into space called a coronal mass ejection. According to the reports, the tsunami on the surface of the sun is of heightened magnetic field and hot, ionized gas. Its speed across the sun is at about 400km per second.

Findings will be published in Solar Physics. It enabled the astronomers to measure the magnetic field in quiet areas, away from the CME.

One the two satellites that have discovered tsunami on the surface of the sun is named Hinode. Its findings have helped the researchers to crack a 70-year-old mystery that why the Sun's surrounding corona is so much hotter than its surface.

The Japanese satellite Hinode was launched in 2006 and since then, it has been studying the Sun. It joined in Earth orbit by the Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2010.

`These EIT waves are quite tricky - they're very random and they're relatively rare. We need to be in the right place at the right time; this has been a long time coming", said David Long of University College London.

Dr. Long and colleagues spotted EIT waves after CME.
