Keeping an Eye on the Sun

hinode sunspot picture

Have a look at some of the sunspot movies and eruptions on the sun’s surface that have been released recently by the new Japanese probe Hinode.

There are plenty more such lovely images (and movies) on this website, and there’s a recent BBC story on the eruptions.

[Update: Yes, if this post reminds you of something I posted about recently, you are right. See "Keeping an Eye on Saturn".]
