     If that's from the 20th, I'm guessing that it's the same one that I saw on   
   erm...  SOHO, maybe?  Where they had a time lapse of it coming from the solar   
   NE quadrant and then looping around behind to shoot towards the satellite in a   
   much more equatorial planar SW trajectory...   
     That is pretty weird...  I would've thought the coronal hole facing that way,   
   with the ramped up solar wind and recent million mile+ plasma filament with a   
   'stone age' shot that [luckily?] went in the opposite trajectory from earth   
   would've toasted that sucker...
