Amazing Sunspot Activity was created by lunartic_old
Hi all
Just out in the front garden observing the sun in white light, there is an amazingly complex sunspot group approaching the limb that is well worth a look, it is the largest sunspot that I have ever seen, it is clearly visible with the unaided eye, through the filter of course. There is so much detail to observe and it was only the approaching cloud that drove me indoors.
Get out and observe it, you won't be disappointed.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

I have been watching it for the past few days ( clear weather here). It's the biggest spot I have seen since the Clearosil ads in the 80s.
