The features on the sun are getting bigger and bigger.  Today a giant snake filament accompanied AR1229, while a long filament streched out from West of this region to the North.  Yesterday I did an animation of the active regions in the southern hemisphere, today I made an 1/2 hour animation of features in the Northern Hemisphere.  AR1228, 29 and 1225 with the filaments around it.  The animation shows  some activity in the filament to the right of the regions and streching North.
