Solar Tsunami

That’s a solar tsunami, or what scientists call a Moreton wave:
A major flare on the Sun earlier this week generated what scientists are calling a solar tsunami.
The tsunami-like shock wave, formally called a Moreton wave, rolled across the hot surface, destroying two visible filaments of cool gas on opposite sides of the visible face of the Sun.
