Sunspot 2191

I great big one just rotated in to view. It's one of the larger ones occurring in solar cycle 24.

Nice!

Thanks..

I had a bit less haze in the sky today and got a close-up of the spot which has grown slightly over the last 24 hrs.

Here it is on October 21st. (It has spread out a bit).

^^^ Impressive.

Oh. Just to add a note courtesy of BBSO (Big Bear Solar Observatory) that is the largest sun telescope on land or universe.

Solar activity is high. Region NOAA 12192 produced three
M-class flares since the last report along with a number
of C-class events. The region has increased in size.
An X-class flare is likely and further M-class flares are
expected. NOAA 12192, S13 E21 (X=-337,Y=-298).
Beta-gamma-delta region.

Nice shots, Jim_T!

Very nice shot there Jim .

Thanks for the comments.. We had another sunny day today and I got another shot of 2191. You can see that it has rotated past the half way mark of the suns face. It will disappear out of view in a few more days.

Another great sho Jim . Today is an excellnt opt for the partial Solar Eclipse that will be happening this afternoon . You should have great vies of it if not a near total eclipse . Hope you show some good images . It would be great for one with the sunspots .
