because it all burns up: Solar activity, photographed by STEREO B, 26th September 2014.
Details of 35 images taken with the COR1 (left) and COR 2 (right). Both views are of the same event, but the COR2 images are from slightly later and show a wider view.
After a planned break on 1st October, communications could not be re-established with the spacecraft. Attempts to make contact are ongoing. The last images archived from the mission are from the 27th.
My favourite thing about fireworks is when the smoke trails they leave behind look like ghost fireworks.
