Jaw-dropping photo captures solar tornado and gigantic plasma eruption raging on the sun at the same time

A massive solar tornado measuring 80,000 miles high appeared alongside a 124,000-mile-wide plasma eruption on the sun's surface, captured in one remarkable image by Romanian researcher Maximilian Teodorescu. Both phenomena result from magnetic field disturbances, with the tornado being roughly ten times taller than Earth and the eruption similar in size to July's "Beast" prominence, though the resulting coronal mass ejection won't impact Earth.
