is a movie showing the Aug. solar eruption in ultraviolet. It covers most of the visible upper hemisphere. Very cool and one of the largest ever captured on film.

Huge solar storms and no sunspots. What's ol' Sol up to, anyway? There's more we don't know than do. Like what's next. I might have to put lead lining in my tinfoil hat.
