Interesting AR Activity (movie)
The images used to make the movie are short exposure Ti_poly images. The movie covers the time interval 15:00-16:59 UT on 04/30. It shows AR 10953 in its final week on the visible side of the Sun. XRT was tracking this region persistently and was rewarded with several nice flares, bright oscillating loops, and much more dynamics than what we got to used to seeing on the Sun during the preceding few weeks.
