Description

Already in the middle of a longer animation,  at around 2021/12/21 UT 00:15 I noticed on the laptop screen an intensely white area on the SE limb. 

I went to have a look at Learmonth GONG site but they were clouded and inbetween images at that point.  When I went back to the animation I realised my animation run had finished  and I missed the climb to the intense white of this event . I restarted my animation at UT 00:25 and watched as it took over the limb then faded back to obscurity.

So here is 40 odd minutes taken from UT 00:25 So intensely white it has been a pain to bring it out but I was so taken by what I saw on the screen I thought you may like to see it. 

The Sun is so absolutely dynamic, I just love it!  I have discovered many stars that have ended their lives so violently as Supernova, yet it is just as incredible to watch our star living its life... so violently!

Thanks for looking.
