Tuesday, July 2, 2013: Two large coronal mass ejections (CMEs) erupted from the sun into space in less than a day, on June 23-24, 2013, as witnessed by the STEREO (Ahead) spacecraft.
The front edge of the first CME showed a bending motion up and to the left.
Before that CME drifted out of the field of view, a second CME, more bulbous in shape, headed down and to the right.
These CMEs suggest that powerful and frequent solar storms will intensify as the sun likely nears its maximum period of activity.
