The Earth-facing side of our Sun has been taking a bit of a nap recently, but finally did something noteworthy! Check out this gorgeous "bird wing" filament eruption today. Thus far, it looks like it will mostly miss us, but we could get the wake of the structure passing by Earth sometime May 16. The animation will take a moment to load, but it is some great eye-candy. I will have a new forecast with more details on this event out by Wednesday.
