Washington: A European spacecraft orbiting Venus in our solar system was hit this week by a storm emanating from the Sun. But still the sun is not in a mood to calm down. For the second time in this week, a storm emanating from the Sun has hit the planet Venus. This shows that the Sun is very active. This plasma came out from the Sun on the other side, due to which it could not be seen from Earth. NASA’s STEREO-A spacecraft observing the Sun on Monday spotted a coronal mass ejection.
According to SpaceWeather.com, this ejection has been recorded directly which was in the back of the Sun. A coronal mass ejection is one of the largest ejections from the Sun’s surface, ejecting billions of tons of material into space at a speed of several million km per hour. These particles and radiation emanating from the Sun are fatal to the electronics and satellites present in space.

Plasma emerges from the sun’s spots
Coronal mass ejections originate from spots on the Sun. Earlier on September 1, a coronal mass ejection took place from this sun spot. Space Weather reported that the sunspot on the other side of the Sun is so large that it is affecting the way the entire Sun vibrates. Further told that the sunspot from which it originated is AR3088. That is why scientists are calling both the storms twins.

Orbiter escaped from Sun’s plasma
Experts are calling the event one of the largest solar energy particle storms since the launch of Europe’s Solar Orbiter. However, the orbiter has miraculously survived this terrible storm emanating from the Sun. The spacecraft is at a distance of 12,500 km from the center of Venus, which is about 6000 km from its gaseous surface.
