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.

BOB
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 .
