The gap between scientific research and society is obvious. Unfortunately in most cases we are not able or don't pay enough attention to communicating the marvels of the Universe in which we all live to the public. In solar physics we are living in a privileged era, not only because we are pushing our observational limits further, but also because public attention is increasing (Sun-Earth connection, effects of global warming, dangers of UV radiation, disruption to satellites, etc.). Part of our work as scientists is to be able to communicate our progress in understanding the Universe to society. As part of my work, I use high quality image sequences of the Sun, which are highly suitable for public outreach. In the spirit of this I submitted some images to the Astronomy Picture of the Day editors, a world reference in scientific outreach. The images and videos were published on 22 May 2007. Using tracking software, it is possible to establish a profile for number of visits and visitors.
