A unique phenomenon occurs in the sun and was captured by ESA’s Solar Orbiter camera. Photo/DOC. ONE
The sun-observing satellites or Solar Orbiter owned by the European Space Agency (ESA) record interesting events taking place on the surface of the sun.
While recording the sun’s daily activity, the camera Solar By the way capture any interesting movement from one side of the sun to the other. The movement was like a slithering snake.
It’s just that according to ESA, don’t take the snake literally. Snake-like crawling is nothing more than intense energy processes taking place in the atmosphere of the sun. At the time, cold atmospheric gases were being shot up by the sun’s magnetic field which then caused the cold plasma to move rapidly.

ESA estimates that the slithering “snake” is moving at 170 kilometers per second. The unique phenomenon itself was captured on camera by taking a time lapse video of solar activity.
David Long, space analyst at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (UCL), said the extraordinary phenomenon occurred due to the different conditions of the gas in the solar atmosphere. According to him all the gas in the atmosphere of the Sun is plasma.
The extreme heat of the sun, more than a million degrees, allows electrons to escape from their atoms. Among these conditions, large eruptions called coronal mass ejections can occur. It was then that a large amount of plasma was ejected into space.
