2023 03 19 - a solar whirlwind

A high-resolution 90 minutes of really dynamic action taken a few days ago on 19th March. Gas whirls around a vortex at measured speeds of at least 80-90km/s, then swings around to the left along the magnetic field lines, travelling up to 280,000km towards an active region (AR13258) on the solar limb. Much of the material flows into a drain at 120km/s into the Sun, while some continues around to complete a full whirling circuit! Also look for a small pretty fountain explosion at left about halfway through. Dancing fields of spicules provide a backdrop.
