Partial Lunar Eclipse from Solar B

Chris Lintott's blog remined me of the existence of Hinode (Solar B). He links to a fantastic animation of flares on the Sun, but as we are on a bit of an eclipse theme, I point you to these animations of a partial eclipse on February 17, 2007. This is the view from the optical telescope and this is the view from the X-ray telescope (warning, not dialup-friendly)
