A giant plasma cloud bursts from the sun, but fortunately it won't hit Earth
From Space.com:
"A giant cloud of magnetized plasma exploded from a sunspot hidden on the far side of the sun that might turn to face Earth only two days from now, so get ready for some solar fireworks."

We'll have to keep an eye out for this in 2 days.
