Hi All,

Despite the most recent Solar Maximum having come and gone, the sun is again providing
a grand show!

Here's a link to view a blink sequence which spotlights the differences between the brighter
photosphere (what we usually see as the "surface" of the sun) and the fainter events
occuring higher above in the chromosphere (Hydrogen-alpha):
