HUGE SUNSPOT: One of the biggest sunspot groups in many years has
just emerged over the sun's eastern limb. The sunspot's magnetic
canopy is crackling with M-class (medium-sized) solar flares and
seems poised to launch even stronger X-class eruptions. The sunspot,
named AR1339, is not yet directly facing Earth but it will be
turning toward our planet in the days ahead. Check
http://spaceweather.com for images of the behemoth and updates.
SUNSPOT TELESCOPE: Sunspot AR1339 looks magnificent when viewed
through Explore Scientific's White Light Solar Observing System.
This safely-filtered telescope is designed for high-quality imaging
of sunspots and it is now available in the Space Weather Store:
