Hi,
There are interesting developments on the Sun tough it may be a quiet solar maxima.
Yesterday (28 Sep 13), we saw a big filament (about 22 times the diameter of Earth) moving across the Sun.
Today (29 Sep 13), we saw it morphed into a large dragon.
Here is a close-up view of the dragon

wow...nice, that is one long "scar" on the Sun!
I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
