Nasa today released stunning video showing a 500,000 mile long 'solar whip' on the surface of the sun - and say radiation from it is headed for eath.

Captured by from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), it shows a very long, whip-like solar filament extending over half a million miles in a long arc above the sun’s surface.

The filaments are cooler clouds of solar material that are tethered above the sun’s surface by unstable magnetic forces.

Yeah, the sun went there.

Also I can't help but notice an astonishing familiarity between Furby's avatar and the image of the sun...
