First movie of 'tsunami' on Sun
| Quote From Source: | Astronomers have captured the first footage of a solar "tsunami" hurtling through the Sun's atmosphere at over a million kilometres per hour.
The event was captured by Nasa's twin Stereo spacecraft designed to make 3D images of our parent star.
Last year's solar tsunami, which took place on 19 May 2007, lasted for about 35 minutes, reaching peak speeds about 20 minutes after the initial blast.
