Watch sunspot AR3664 grow into a giant in 3-day time-lapse
Ғылым және технология
Highly active sunspot AR3664 grew tremendously from May 6-9, 2024. See a time-lapse of the region here.
As of May 9, it was about 15-Earths wide.

The flare at the "bottom" of the sun as seen with the naked eye during the eclipse was a once in a lifetime event. I'll never forget it.

I saw that. I had binoculars with me and seeing that ruby red prominence was incredible.

Solar Flare is short emission of Gamma Rays, mostly with Coronal Mass Ejection. The red prominence is Chromosphere. It emits Hydrogen alpha transition mostly and Calcium II. Completely different from the rest of the sun light emission which is continuous white spectrum of light. You witnessed something that is only visible during totality with a naked eye. The true color of ionized hydrogen in gaseous form. The rest is clear white, including corona. Very close to emission of typical Black Body at app. 5772 Kelvin. Hydrogen in ionized gaseous form doesn't emit continuous light. Only solids or liquids can. Think about it.

I could see the red twinkle of it with the naked eye. My family was all wondering what it was and I guessed a solar flare. Glad I was right😁

I watched it almost every morning for a week with a white light filter; it's still huge today May 12, and not too close to the edge of the Sun, you can see it for a couple more days. It's very impressive for the size and the intricacy of the shapes and shades.
Back in the eighties, I suppose around 1982, I saw sunspots with the naked eye at sunset. It was in my hometown in Portugal.

As a kid i used to project the sun via telescope onto a sheet of paper to watch sunspots.
It could be seen in Texas with the naked eye when smoke from wildfires covered the sky
Thanks

Currently observing the sun. The large active reagion is really impressive, even with moderate seeing.
Looks like a bruise followed by hematoma on the surface of the Sun... Awesome!

Umm, theoretically yes, but we need to be far away to see the comparative size relation. I do like the "earth" spot to scale inside the looping plasma filaments. Only on paper, art, or one's keen imagination, m'k?

Honey, We cant see the sun at night from the Earth The Person who capture this video Probably use and filter and Focus on the sun (obviously during the day time) Or Maybe they might have Capture this from the telescopes You know
Well to be clear, 2024 is when the sun peak high in the 7 year cycle so spect to have more sun spots, beside the sun is gradually growing
At may 10 4pm I took a photo of the sun and you can see it

That’s where I’d land

What this spot means
sun spot sun!!!!
Um.. I don't see the progress clearly, how about putting it up against the original side by side. It would be great.
É por isso que muita gente acredita que o Sol é o dono de tudo, o Sol é surpreendente como já dizia o Don Carlos "Mister Sun" mas é só uma criação de Deus,❤

@@smileygladhandsNo it’s not billions. It’s about 3k years. Do your research, the sun my lifetime has gone from being a strong orange, to yellow to now white. Stars turn white before they die. Through research they are able to predict the earths life by monitoring the sun spots. In other words, sun spots are an indicator as to a stars health. Look up William cooper who wrote behold a pale horse. He came across documents that showed our sun has 3 thousand years left. When Edgar Mitchel gave a talk before he died he said the sun had 3 thousand years to live, he then coughed and said oops I meant to say 3 billion years. It’s why Elon wants to get off earth before the star dies. Our earth is heating up because our star is dying.
