A coronal mass ejection (CME) being launched by a solar flare (highlighted) on July 15. The CME later cannibalized another CME that launched earlier on July 14 and is now heading straight for Earth.

When Coronal Mass Ejections strike Earth they cause geomagnetic storms and enhanced aurora. They can disrupt radio waves, GPS coordinates and overload electrical systems.
