Enjoy your morning coffee to the background of a solar spectrum movie.
Stop/ pause to say hello to some of your favourite wavelengths.....

My understanding is you upload something to Y tube and it's in the public domain.
I would use it with acknowledgement..

I thoroughly enjoyed that with my CocoPops, I was amazed at how the Hydrogen alpha line stood out like a sore thumb and the infra red went on for ever.

This is a keeper and should be in the library.
