NASA'S PUNCH Images Eruptions from the Sun
Image: Primary The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere, or PUNCH, mission has produced a video showing several coronal mass ejections erupting from the Sun. The video covers the period from Oct. 21 to Nov. 12, 2025. The ejections appear as cloud like features moving away from the Sun at the center in all directions.
The imagery is a mosaic drawn from four spacecraft. One spacecraft hosts the Narrow Field Imager with a coronagraph that blocks out the Sun to reveal the faint wispy details of the corona. The other three spacecraft host Wide Field Imagers that provide broad views of the Sun.
Images taken several times a day over several days were combined into the mosaic. The video also shows comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) at the top, Venus at the left, and Mercury to the right of center. NASA and SwRI indicate that the observations aid space weather tracking, prediction, and research.
