Carl T. BergstromA better view of the wild solar prominences during Monday's eclipse.

Coprolite9000Oooh - those are great, those are!
I immediately started wondering if it would be possible to match up the prominences with Solar Dynamics Observatory imagery. And after some quick hacking about in Photoshop, the answer is: yes, yes it is. Rotate by about 64 degrees, and things line up pretty well. (Image times were a vague guess...)
