Sun explodes with 2,00,000 km long filament, blast debris could hit Earth

After the Sun exploded with a cannibal eruption, observatories spotted a 2,00,000 kilometres-long filament eruption from the star. The long filament of magnetism erupted from the southern hemisphere of the Sun, snapping like a rubber band.

Experts predicted that the debris from the explosion could be headed toward Earth and the SOHO observatories indicate a CME emerging from the blast site.
