But before I go!
Let's get back on topic. I wanted to post here about some of the cool images I've found online. I've sent up a few flares, but now it's your turn. Post your favorite solar images or movies in the comments.
See if you can surprise me.

Doctor Hendler,
I have chosen this image but feel I must explain my choice for it to be understood in context. My Phd was in the Arts not the sciences, images resonate in a very different way to me. I am unable to appreciate the scientific implications of an image but can appraise it deepy on its aesthetics. I ask you to consider this submission which is a work of digital art based on a solar flare. I ask you not to dismiss it but to consider it a choice that I have made for you with a great deal of my core self involved. As I myself was taught a few years ago "Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which Nature herself is animated."

I like this photo because it shows the effect of a coronal mass ejection on the aurora borealis on earth. Very cool. It's like a crazy wave of magnetic energy.
This one look really apocalyptic:

I want to reply to everyone!
Whoops. I hit publish - I wasn't even thinking.
Bottom to top:
Margot - Ah, the beauty of nature. Such violence in that image. An explosion of color! Yet, so harmless.
Mcgritts - I couldn't get your first image to load, so I'll focus on the second. Looks like the eye of God staring at you, doesn't it?
Schrijvertje - What does your name mean, by the way? I like the image better than the video. For me, I find nature's art the truest form of art. I rather enjoy those flash-freeze moments of explosion - moment like your "apocalyptic" image captures. Sometimes I yearn for my own billion dollar space satellite. All she would do is stare into the sun.
Dan - I love this one! Can you see him? There's a man in that fire, arms waving, his body alight, consumed! I can't tell if he's standing up from the flames, or sinking in...
Mokey2rocks - Silly names! But the best of the best is yours. I'm going to have to start paying attention to youtube.
FizzCharlson - Excellent as well. As I said before, I cherish such images as have been shared today because they are art. In art, nothing is sacred and nothing should be held back. Art *is* contemplation. Well done.
RVC - I don't wish to belittle anyone's efforts, but, my friend, I think you can do better.
I live in Belgium, so my name is a Dutch word which means "little writer".
How about this Dr. Hendler

I can see how you can relate to this
Ye gads! More!
And I post that without even reviewing the "more".
Are you some kind of internet joker?
Sorry I thought that link worked. Here's one that does:

What do you mean by "internet joker" is that like a class clown <:o)
