The explosion is a unity with the characteristics of the three types.
Reported from CNET, Wednesday (9/6/2021), the three types of eruptions are generally different.
The coronal mass ejection (CME) acts like a large bubble that pushes energy and particles from the Sun into space.
The jet type does the same thing, but is smaller. Meanwhile, the partial eruption makes the energy seem to want to escape, but fall back to the surface of the Sun.
“This event is the missing link where we can see all aspects of these different types of eruptions in one package,” said Emily Mason, a scientist with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
He added that the eruptions were caused by the same mechanism, only at a different scale.
The explosion event has been documented by the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
According to a statement from the Universities Space Research Association, the next step in the investigation will be to create a computer model of the event.

NASA explains that understanding the mechanisms behind these eruptions, particularly the CME, is critical to predicting when a major eruption may cause disturbance on Earth.
