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!
