SolarHam.com | VIDEO - Sunspots 1569 and 1570 - SDO (9/11/2012)



Here is a 24 hour movie by SDO showing Sunspots 1569 and 1570 (tentative) rotating into view off the southeast limb between Sept 10 and Sept 11, 2012. This video captures several C-Class flares that launches plasma high above the active region. You will also notice the video goes dark for a moment. This is actually our planet passing in between the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft and the Sun.
