The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager of the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission captured its first coronal mass ejection (CME) on 17 November 2020. The CME is seen at top right. The movie is made of ten images.
The images are taken at the extreme ultraviolet wavelength of 17 nanometres, and show the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona, which exists at a temperature of around one million degrees.
