Previous Animation Next Animation Building a 3-D Coronal Mass Ejection from 2-D Data Using differences in polarization of light directly from the Sun vs. scattered from the CME electrons, it is possible to derive a distance of matter along the line-of-sight. This version is an early release of animation ID 2958.    Movie viewing the CME reconstruction from different angles.
