Sun puts on another light show

Three months ago NASA launched an observatory to look at the sun. The Solar Dynamics Observatory got its money’s worth recently with this huge eruption putting on a show unlike any seen in a very long time. Billions of tons of mass were blown away in this eruption (fortunately not aimed at earth). You can watch a time-lapse video on YouTube here.

Wouldn’t this be even better if a tiger jumped through the hoop? Just a suggestion.
