Moreton Wave
(A Tsunami On The Sun)
How cool is this!?
This imagery is shown on Astronomy Picture of the Day and titled, A Large Tsunami Shock Wave on the Sun.
According to the site,
"The rampaging tsunami took out some active filaments on the Sun, although many re-established themselves later. The solar tsunami spread at nearly one million kilometers per hour, and circled the entire Sun in a matter of minutes."
