Sunspots 06-03-2023
The Sun photographed this morning in Palm Springs at 0820hrs PST. The Sunspots are actually assigned a number and they are tracked. Sunspots are the origins for Solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
From NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)… Solar Cycle 25 has ramped up much faster than scientists predicted producing more sunspots and eruptions than experts had forecast. Tracking and predicting the Sun’s solar cycles gives a rough idea of the frequency of space weather storms of all types – from radio blackouts to geomagnetic storms and solar radiation storms – and it’s used by many industries to gauge the potential impact of space weather on Earth. Though we are seeing increased activity on the Sun, we expect this solar cycle to be average compared to solar cycles in the past century. Solar Cycle began in December 2019.
Traveling Sunspots
Photographed this morning, 18 hours after the photograph I shot of the Sun in a post below. The sunspots on the right appear to have traveled approximately 481,000 miles during that time.

My first effort at Solar Photography. Those are sunspots. Not sensor dust lol. I have been wanting to do this for a long time.
