I was looking at the original 20:42 image and was wondering about the streaks above Jupitor. I initially thought "meteor" but that's obviously not true.
In the movie, we see lots of them - usually just in one frame, sometimes traceable in several. Are these noise in the camera or real objects passing between SOHO and the sun? In particular, 23:18 seems to show something passing from 11:00 to 4:00 (or vice versa). Is the inner system really as busy as the images would imply.
