The Japanese Hinobe space probe is taking some spectacular images of the Sun which are well worth checking out. As part of their press release on Monday, the Hinobe project partners made available some amazing movies and images on their website, so head over there for the goods. You can also keep an eye on the official NASA page for further updates. The kind of stuff that inspired me when I was kid (in my case though, it was Viking images of Mars), so show them to your children if they like space and rockets and all those things.
