My interpretation / translation of the Sun unleashing a CME at this particular moment: "You cannot pass! I am the servant of the Nuclear Fire, wielder of the Flame of Fusion. Dark ice will not avail you, Flame of ISON! Go back to the Oort Cloud! You shall not pass!!"

Do we know in advance when telescopes like SOHO will have "data gaps" (as appeared to happen in the hours before this latest image, and as happened with one of the other space telescopes the last time a CME threatened), such that we can be confident we'll actually get to see what happens this time?
