This event was captured in extreme ultraviolet light by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft . Because SDO images are super-HD, we can zoom in on the action and still see exquisite details. And using a cadence of a frame taken every 24 seconds, the sense of motion is, by all appearances. (SDO)
