This has got to be the most amazing image of the Sun I have ever seen.
 Link to story and video: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth...2-filament.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/05/so...filament_video/ "Last Friday the Sun put on a magnificent display, ejecting a massive solar filament that was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in all its glory." |

Wow, that is an awesome image! Thank you very much for posing it. Now Hollywood special effects houses have something to aspire to.

Today's SDO images show the solar disk partially out of frame, and in different locations at different times. I have never seen that before and I check almost every day. Perhaps some pointing issue?
Airbag PS Some stunning flares/prominences, BTW! |

Looks like very ordinary, regular flat-field maneuvers. They've done them many many times in the past.
Confirmed... QUOTE (@NASA_SDO) We are doing calibrations so our data looks a little off center right now! http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data https://twitter.com/NASA_SDO/status/324554290259709953 |

Ah thanks, good to know! I guess I just never happened to look at the web page when they were doing that before.

I managed to reprocess some frames grabbed from the 13th of May, in the morning (about 6:00 AM GMT), with 131 and 171 filters
