This is the source data material for the main release of X Marks the Spot: SDO Sees Reconnection.
'X' Marks the Spot: SDO Observes a Reconnection Event
Frames were generated using the standard SDO AIA 131 Å color table and an enhanced version to reveal the finer details of the coronal loops, which are overly saturated in the standard color table ranges.
