Maybe next half the Earth will break off... We'll have to build a bridge in space to connect each side.

The filaments (Solar Flares) do not break loose from the sun. They absorb back in. This filament actually broke away and is now circling the pole at the top of the sun on its own. The pic below shows the filament at the top as it was breaking away.

Talk about Polar Vortex! Material from a northern prominence just broke away from the main filament & is now circulating in a massive polar vortex around the north pole of our Star.
