NASA spacecraft capture awesome Sun footage

I did a search and no one seems to have posted this, If I'm wrong feel free to trash it mods!

BBC Science & Technology

Nasa's twin Stereo spacecrafts "Behind" and "Ahead" captured rare footage of the Sun erupting over about a 30-hour period between 26 September and 27 September.

The eruption was so large that the spacecrafts were able to observe it for hours on end, one of the first times this has occurred.

I uploaded a crude version, hope it works!

Yeah I know, without sounding too stupid, I find looking at thee images of the surface of the Sun quite hypnotic, it is truly awesome!
