A new VIDEO that cobbles together footage from a NASA solar observatory shows a brewing eruption on the sun that bears resemblance to the iconic extraterrestrial from director Ridley Scott's sci-fi blockbuster "Alien."
The wispy solar prominence was seen lifting off the sun Monday (June 18) by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The video, which was created by Romeo Durscher, an SDO public outreach officer at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., incorporates nearly 15 hours of footage.
