I personally would rather show actual data over interpolated data, but I don't know how many unphysical interpolation artifacts you're getting or whether that really matters at a public outreach level.

That said, if you felt like processing it yourself, the L1 files are available every 12-24 seconds, and preprocessed images are available ~1 per minute. The synoptic version you're using is about 1 frame every 3 minutes at 20 fps so you could just triple the framerate without needing any interpolation, or string together the images yourself.

I'll add that "raw" is after a bit of postprocessing to make it pretty.

When the SDO webserver went down a few months ago I rebuilt the L1 data processing pipeline from JSOC so we could still do outreach and there's a surprising amount of opinion that goes into the mapping of data to visualization for each wavelength. My composite movies came out looking more like an acid trip than solar data.

Even having a Gmail address doesn't make you immune from someone putting in the wrong address.

I made a throwaway/spam account with a silly name back in ~2007, and then in ~2015 someone established a fairly successful company with that name. I now regularly get job applications, tax documents, and employee timesheets to my email. They even signed up for the service that controls their website with my email.

I keep waiting for them to contact me about taking over the address, but as far as I can tell they don't even realize they don't control it.

Serious question, but what is the best practice for keeping n-dimensional arrays organized/labeled? Pandas? Xarray? Converting everything to netcdf before using it?

If you're using a browser with heavy anti-fingerprinting capabilities it will upload a randomized canvas image instead of the intended image, and you'll get a lot of descriptions of pictures of wavy lines and no people.
