For solar fans:
May. 7th, 2010 07:12 pmLive! Local! Late-Breaking!
The SDO/AIA team are making current solar images available. I'm not sure how often they're updated, but the stuff below the cut is supposed to link to the most recent image. (There are other wavelengths, but these are my favorites. 171 for pretty loops and flares, 335 for erupting prominences, continuum for sunspots. And 1700, which is UV continuum from the upper photosphere, because it's a novelty to me.)
( Cut to avoid friend-page breakage in case of table coding problems, and to spare everybody's bandwidth. )
