"It is hard to easily judge the size of this 3D event with a 2D image at this angle, but this filament is probably on the order of 30 Earths across, 300,000 kilometers or 186,000 miles," explained C. Alex Young, a solar physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "When the filament expanded into space it quickly became more extended leaving the sun as a CME many solar diameters across, many millions of kilometers or miles."
"This "long filament of solar material," as NASA calls it, was spotted tearing away from the Sun at upwards of 900 miles per second.

Japanese photographer Yoji Ookata captured the photos below while on a dive near Amami Oshima at the southern tip of Japan . He said the rippling geometric sand patterns are nearly six feet in diameter and almost 80 feet below sea level.
