NASA SDO - Departing Sunspots, June 18-19, 2012

Over the past two weeks we have been watching the Active Region 1504 appear on the Eastern limb of the Sun, release several M-class solar flares while moving across the Earth facing side of the Sun. As it is decaying and moving towards the Western limb of the Sun, we are getting one good last look at these beautiful sunspots.

This video covers almost 26 hours from June 18 at 8:44 UT to June 19, 10:34 UT.
