Pretty smart. Hinode is the new Japanese one isn't it?
I like the way the flares follow magnetic lines, like iron filings. |

I think that has to be one of the most extraordinary astronomical images I have seen! It would be interesting to know what happened to the seismic wave after it completed its journey round the sun back to its starting point. |

it certainly was a biggie , if you consider the size of the sun , i would quess that an earth quake of around a million times LESS magnitude (on a pro-rata earth to sun scale) would destroy all life here . i understand that the seismic wave destoyed all solar features in its path. i said good bye to spot 930 today as it dissappeared around the westerly limb , i wont forget that one . brian there was good seeing last night wasnt there
