I worked on the web version as well as an upcoming iPhone version of this over the summer.

Check out: http://helioviewer.org/ for the web version, and http://helioviewer.org/wiki for info on other related projects.

Neat, although the extremely small number of heliophysicists who might actually have some use for this probably have some other way to view the data already.
