Having originated from multiple solar storms and an unusual 'dark eruption', there are fears the 'cannibal' coronal mass ejection could spark a weak geomagnetic storm when it hits Earth today.

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.

But capturing these coronal mass ejections, and even solar flares, on video isn’t easy. It requires specialized equipment to reject the energy and radiation emitted by the Sun.
