  3. X-ray images from the 20 January 1999 solar flare (previously unpublished, but "land_fig.gif" will appear on McKenzie's poster at the Lake Tahoe meeting). Except for the first JAVA Script movie, these are simply different presentations of three frames from the SXT movie: a bright arcade is shown, with arrows indicating the location of a downward-moving X-ray-dark feature.
