Hi all,
I just thought I would add this post. For anyone who partakes in viewing the sun during their own observations (so I don't mean using SOHO!
), there is alot of sunspot activity to be clearly seen on its surface today. I lectured to a summer camp in the youth center today, praying it would be clear.
It was, and when I projected the sun for them in the yard, we counted 13 sunspots!! They were amazed!
Check out my other post on what happened today.
Cheers,
Seanie.
