Solar System and Oort Cloud
... un distance). Evidence for it comes from the orbits of long-period comets, which
seem to hail from a great distance from the Solar
System. This schematic shows how the Solar System is
an insignificant part of the Sun's family. ...

Coronal Mass Ejection - V2
Illustration of a coronal mass ejection emanating from the Sun. These events, CMEs
for short, are powerful releases of solar charged
particles (plasma) and magnetic field, travelling on the solar wind. When a CME hits Earth, it can cause a
