IRIS Movie of the Day
At least once a week a movie of the Sun taken by NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is posted by one of the scientists operating the instrument.

IRIS captures these spectacular jet activities at the east limb of the Sun, from a source region later noted as active region (AR) 13184. The solar materials were heated and accelerated into a higher solar atmosphere and then some of them fell back. This particular event was viewed by IRIS in its 5 orbits on this target during IRIS's current eclipse season, which lasted for several hours.
