Sunspots (20230714) - bridge rebuilt!While there had been an obvious but not very homogeneous
light bridge crossing
the big apple shaped Sun spot in the active region AR13363 (20230709), this same light bridge seemed to disintegrate the next day, leaving only
two hair thin fragments (20230710). After one more day and despite their fragile appearance, these two
light bridge fragments seemingly start to rebuild (20230711)After three days with mostly overcast skies, the passage of a cold front and thunderstorms, there is once again a clear view of our home star this morning.
The prominent
group of spots in the active region
AR13363 (lower right) has of course meanwhile migrated to the right third of the visible solar disk due to the
Sun's own rotation. Instead of
two hair-thin bridges of light, which first appeared on J
uly 10, 2023 -
see my link above - and can only be recognized with difficulty in the related image taken with a comparably short focal length, they have
now connected to form
a single, really powerful bridge of light - so to say:
bridge rebuilt!~ * ~
Two more large spots appear at the
Sun's eastern limb, this time evolving in it's northern hemisphere. They both belong to the active region
AR13372. And the way the edge of the
Sun looks, there could soon be a lot of new things to observe in the spectrum of visible light.
