Summary

Description	This LASCO C2 image shows a very large coronal mass ejection (CME) blasting off into space on 2 December 2002. It presents the classic shape of a CME: a large bulbous front with a second, more compact, inner core of hot plasma. This material erupts away from the Sun at speeds of one to two million miles (or km) per hour.
