Days on the sun

On the left side of the frame is the full circle of the Sun. It
appears in a golden yellow color, but splotchy and with thin
yellow wisps extending from the surface. Some areas are
very bright and others almost black. The whole Sun rotates
steadily, with one full rotation taking 12 minutes in this time
lapse. There are usually only a few bright regions visible at a
time and they shift and flash like small fires. From these
regions there are wispy loops reaching up above the surface
that rapidly change shape and size
On the right side of the frame are two white-outlined squares
with enlargements of interesting regions of the Sun.
