Uh, I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but the USBG has photos (still and time-lapse) on their web site, and a link to their site accompanied the article that jrstark mentioned.
BTW, the USBG site was very responsive last night but is being very sluggish today. I suspect that it's getting a lot more traffic than usual!
