Relativistically belated congratulations to Terry, what a lovely present!
I was showing my non-astro relatives some of the SOHO sequences, to some "oohs and aahs", when my niece (who was watching very quietly indeed for her) suddenly asked (with a quaver in her voice),
"Did Santa fall into the sun?"
Restrained LOL.
She was so gratified to see "Santa" coming around the other side of the sun.
I wish we could teach our littlies less about bizarre and fantastical confabulations and instead show them the astonishing wonder of the real world. Sigh.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful images!
