Radiation from the sun, either constantly streaming or spiking with solar flares and coronal mass ejections, poses a danger to astronauts in space. In this artist’s image, radiation streams away from the sun along the (blue) curved magnetic field lines, arriving before the (orange) cornal mass ejection.
