THE AMAZING SUNSPOT DYNAMICS: two videos: the first showing the motions of the sunspots which is the cause of their high activity levels and then following the corresponding changes in the magnetic loops high above them in the corona at about 700,000K. Much more to come I suspect
CME WATCH: 3 beautiful CMES. The one at the end is associated with the long duration M flare (see earlier tweet). The flare lasted about 5-6 hours! The bright object is Mercury on the far side of the Sun which is why it is moving in the opposite direction to the background stars.
