I just came across something extremely curious. There is a black spherical anomoly the size of Jupiter on the south east limb of the sun. I have no idea what this may be. Image Credit: NASA SDO

"http://www.thesuntoday.org - On March 12, 2012 Sunsflare posted a video asking if anyone could identify a circular object seen in SDO coronal images. The video was also posted on Facebook with the same question posed. I answered the question on facebook but here is a more detailed response and discussion of the observation. The object seen is a coronal cavity associated with a filament. There was also an eruption of the filament with a CME. " - C. Alex Young, Ph.D.
