Fantastic NASA animation from Sept 24-26

Holy cow!
NASA SDO animation of activity from Sept 24-26
You have to watch it over and over. You can't see everything in one viewing

Stunning images. Such a lot going on. As you say, you have to watch it over and over to see the details in every region.

Thanks for the link.

Took quite a while to download but when it eventually ran it was glorious, I can't wait to see what images Parker Solar probe brings back (pity it takes so long to get not very far away).

Must be nice always having good seeing. I suppose it might get a bit lonely out there, but what a view
I was surprised to see how fast some of the action is, given that the individual frames are only about 15 minutes apart. I love the thing that looks like a little lightning storm of sorts in the lower center and the _whoosh!_ of flame past the AR in the upper left at 0:12 (2/3 of the way through the video)
