Re: Animations and playing around 4/22/2024
Wow! I don't think I have seen the Sun this active before, not even at the last solar maximum. Incredible work and I love the little bright point in the off band Halpha.

That's a really interesting animation Ralph, first the big blow out of material at the top, this then agitates the bottom right, which then aggravates the bottom left. A very nice sequence of possible interactions.
