Have a look at this video of solar storms on the sun – a phenomenal natural cosmic event. In early February NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory beamed back these incredible images of the sun’s plasma moving violently around the star’s magnetic field. It went on for over 30 hours creating a tornado as large as the Earth itself with gusts reaching up to 300,000 miles per hour.

American Public Radio has more on how a solar storm is created.
