NASA Captures Videos of Solar Storm Engulfing Earth [VIDEOS]
NASA released new videos of a solar storm engulfing our planet, captured by a spacecraft far from Earth. The footage of the storm released on Thursday, was recorded in December 2008 and scientists have been working on it ever since. It's the first time such footage has been captured and solar physicists say it could lead to important advances in space weather forecasting.
