You've probably already seen this, but here is a site I visit almost every day: http://spaceweather.com/

Scroll down to the paragraph, "Stress Relief" for a nice gif or video of a solar eruption in a 6-hour time lapse.

I love that site. It's a good thing primitive Man couldn't see Old Sol like this. They would have believed even more in dragons.

From now on, I promise to use only 1/2 a square of toilet paper. < /crossed fingers >
