On Nov. 4th, 2015, the Sun 'spits' into space following a M3-class eruption. The offending sunspot (AR2443) is close to 124,000 miles (200,000km) from "end to end" according to Spaceweather.com. Earlier in the day, sunspot AR2445 blasted an M1.3 flare, spewing superheated plasma out and back onto itself.
