More than four years after solar maximum, the sun continues to produce
big sunspots. There's one transiting the solar disk now. It's about
five times wider than our entire planet Earth--in other words, big
enough to see with the unaided eye. But please do not stare at the
blinding sun. Visit http://Spaceweather.com for safe solar observing
tips, plus a movie of the growing 'spot and photos taken by amateur
astronomers around the world.
