The visualization 'Excerpt from 'Dynamic Earth'' has been one of the most popular visualizations that the Scientific Visualization Studio has ever created. It's often used in presentations to illustrate the connections between the Earth and the Sun, as well as the power of computer simulation in understanding those connections. This version of the visualization replaces the first 30 seconds with a new pullout from the Sun, one which better illustrates the early stages of a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection).
