A long filament of solar material that had been hovering in the Sun's atmosphere, the corona, erupts out into space at 4:36 p.m. EDT on August 31, 2012. The coronal mass ejection, or CME, traveled at over 900 miles per second. The CME did not travel directly toward Earth, but did connect with Earth's magnetic environment, or magnetosphere, causing aurora to appear on the night of September 3, 2012.

An event could reveal how supermassive stars are born. Two stellar stars have been spotted by Spanish astronomers, and it is said that the two could merge to create one huge megastar.

According to the Daily Mail, the team has reported the eclipsing of MY Camelopardalis, which is a star system, when they spotted two stellar stars in a close orbit. Most stars in the galaxy were wormed as a result of binary of multiple systems, a few of which of them are said to be eclipsing. Alicante 1, a small open star cluster located around 13,000 light-years away from the Earth, nestled the star system.

The two stars, described as blue and very hot, were seen by the Spanish astronomers through a 2.2 meter telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. The researchers were successful in finding out both, the temperature as well as the shape of the stars.

The two stars that have been spotted by the team are moving at a speed of 1 million kilometers per hour around each other. The stars have a radius almost 700 times bigger than that of the Earth. Both the stars are said to have existed for not more than two million years.

Each of the stars were found to have mass of 38 times and 32 times that of the sun. The astronomers believe that the two complete their orbits in under 1.2 days of each other. The scientists are of the belief that since its outer atmospheres are already touching and are so close to each other, the two will merge into one megastar, which is estimated to have about 60 times of the mass of the sun.

The scientists believe that the merge of the two stars would be a rapid one as well as explosive which will lead to the release of a huge amount of energy. The scientists also hope to explain how massive stars are formed by looking at the merging of the two stars.

The scientists have said that the resulting star will not be a "hypergiant" star. A hypergiant is one which has 100 or more times the mass of the sun. It also has the potential to emit thousand times more energy.
