AR2758

What remains of sunspot AR2758.

 

Our sun goes through an 11 year solar cycle. It is now in what is known as the Solar Minimum of that cycle. During the Solar Minimum, solar activity is at its lowest. Sunspot and solar flare activity are not completely absent, but diminishes dramatically.

 

What you see here is what remains of a small sunspot known as Active Region(AR) 2758 that belongs to the next solar cycle.

 

NEVER, EVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. PERMANENT RETINAL DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IN SECONDS!
