SOHO Page for if you like to watch the Sun

This page is as good as good is for keeping tabs on our Sun. I especially recommend the little movies.

___The Sun has been relatively 'quiet' lately, but a nice coronal mass ejection (CME) recorded the other day. Last I heard it wasn't clear if it would graze Earth or not.

Thanks Turtle, I sent this link right to my favorites.

___The recent X 17 flare baked out the SOHO CCD's:

Stay tuned for more coronal mass ejections (CME's) from this active sunspot region.
___If you go back in the SOHO page archive, you can see the effect of this erruption on the LASCO instruments:

Awesome .

Excellent links Turtle.

Do I hear someone saying "Brotherly conduct..." in my ear ...

___I highly recommend the SOHO Real Time Movies right now; extremely high activity on Old Sol & the promise of more to come.

___Scroll down & click movies, then click on the LASCO C2 & LASCO C3 (2 different movies). I can't say which for sure without checking, but Mercury or Venus is seen entering the frame from stage left.

___Another CME (Coronal Mas Ejection) from the Sun is likely to produce auroura visible from mid-latitudes; keep your eyes peeled, but never look directly at the Sun.

Something explosive brewing on the back side of the Sun today.

Check the movie from the Lasco C2 instrument.

____Just perusing the SOHO page, & I may have spotted a comet.
Go to the main page, then scroll down & click on MPEG movies, then click on the LASCO3 image. Right near the end of the video, an object enters very fast from the bottom left & moves up & right. The movie ends there, so I don't know if it went past & out the top or if it hit the Sun. Interesting...
