The sun’s halo is undergoing what is known as solar wind, discharging hot, dense and charged particles into space.

"They look like the blobs in a lava lamp. Only they are hundreds of times larger than the Earth,” a research astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and co-author of the recent study, Nicholeen Viall, told Live Science.

The study showed that the solar winds are extremely hot and might be exhaled by the sun in the form of solar burps every 90 minutes or less.

"Even when it's a quiet space weather day, in terms of explosive solar storms, there's this base level of weather always happening on the sun. And those little dynamics are driving dynamics on Earth, too,” Viall said.

The blobs are dense and hot, measure between 50 and 500 times the size of Earth, and grow larger as they are transmitted into space, as well as they are charged with twice as many particles as ordinary solar wind.

Scientists noted that when these blobs approach the earth, they can reduce the planet's magnetic field and interfere with communication signals for minutes or hours at a time.
