Spiral Outflows from AR (movie)
All of the images are taken with the XRT thin-Aluminum on mesh ("Al-mesh") filter, field-of-view equals 256x256 arcseconds, with exposure times of 4.1 sec. The movie runs from 19:00 UT on 02/19/07 to 07:59 UT on 02/20/07. The target was NOAA Active Region 10943 --- not very active though. The interesting thing about this movie is that one can see the spiraling structures emerging from the bright spot in the middle (coinciding with that sunspot). You can actually see material flowing out along those spirals.
