The tsunami moves hot gas (bright) out of the region, revealing cooler regions (darker) below. This view rotates on the push-in to keep the region of the flare event visible (to the left in the final frame).    Closeup view of the tsunami (with rotation) Duration: 8.0 seconds Available formats:   640x480 (30 fps) MPEG-1   4 MB   720x480 (29.97 fps) MPEG-2   7 MB   320x240 (30 fps) MPEG-1   1 MB   80x40         PNG           6 KB   320x240     JPEG         4 KB   320x240     JPEG         4 KB How to play our movies    A view of the Sun before the event.
