A giant explosion lashed out from the sun this week, sending a flood of solar material careening toward Earth faster than forecasters realized.
It started with a giant loop of plasma arcing from the sun on Saturday. The snakey filament grew, oozing further and further from the sun's surface, until it accelerated away and burst into space.
