Solar Campfire (movie)
This interesting active region structure looks like a campfire on the Sun. Observed on 04-Jan-2008 there are many interesting flows throught the observation. There are also small brightenings or flares through the observation. The way the loops are oriented it looks as if these are firey wisps not loop like structures. The only truely persistant loop is the faint large loop on the bottom left.
