Description

The Sun was particularly active today with a total of 6 Active Regions not including the rim Prominences. The region associated as AR3181 on the Solar Surface was showing a total number of 44 sunspots.
Sunspots come in all sizes and shapes. Some groups of sunspots have a more complex magnetic structure than other sunspot groups and are more likely to produce solar flares.

AR3181 Magnetic Classification:  β-γ (Beta-Gamma) - A bipolar sunspot group but complex enough so that no line can be drawn between spots of opposite polarity.

Thanks for checking it out!
