All,
  Here's a video of a very unusual explosion on the Sun.  This kind of explosion was never observed before.  Enjoy! Link: LiveLeak.com - Hello Sunshine!

Very cool!

We all doomed. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'll bet Mercury needed his diaper changed after that one... 

  Naw, missed Mercury.  Mercury is going behind the Sun, as seen in the other coronagraph.  The Messenger satellite is orbiting Mercury though, there is some concern there.  The explosion was on the visible side of the Sun.
