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.

These four observations captured a flurry of activity from AR13112 as it emerged from behind the solar limb. Diffuse cloud structures, flares, large jets, loops forming and dissipating, coronal rain and more could be observed. As we could see once this region finally made its way onto the disk, AR13112 is one of the largest and most complex regions that we have seen so far in Solar Cycle 25, which explains the high level of activity.
