A plasma twister in the sun’s northern hemisphere broke apart on December 28, 2023 and hurled a spinning cloud of hot gas into space. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded its escape.

At first glance this tiny cloud may seem inconsequential. However, on its way out of the sun’s atmosphere, it triggered magnetic instabilities that turned into a surprisingly large CME. The CME will not hit Earth.
Remarkable, right after the plasma twister’s breakup, a substantial unidentified object emerged from the sun and shot into space.

Considering the history of similar objects passing near the sun, which were clearly not charged particles released from the sun we may wonder whether this object could be of extraterrestrial origin and if it could be linked to the earlier disintegration of the plasma twister from the sun?
