Description

My first record of sunspots. I inserted an identification chart (adapted from NASA's SOHO website) with the approximate size of the Earth and Jupiter in proportion to the Sun (and its spots). This image contains, from left to right, sunspots 2786 and 2785.

"Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. Sunspots usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity.[2] Their number varies according to the approximately 11-year solar cycle". Source: Wikipedia.org
