Yesterday there was a solar tsunami (article and video). It was captured by a "twin Stereo spacecraft designed to make 3D images of our parent star".
Humans are kinda neat. You don't see other animals doing this kind of stuff. Walruses, for example, haven't decided to photograph the sun in 3D yet. And if they did, well then, as Kevin put it, "we'd have competition". In turn, if we had walrusy competition, we'd kill all the walruses. Cuz that's what we do. (We're not always "neat".)

Walruses don't photograph the sun in 3D but there are some oysters that do. They use this 3D data to build little models of the sun. Some of them are even modelling the eventual death of the sun and collapse into a black hole.
