That explains why I see spots after staring at the sun.

I used to live in Tucson--Kitt Peak was one of my favorite places to go as a child. I remember seeing this large solar telescope and the platform showing the sun spots!

My science book says that sunspots is the cold part of the sun

[blocksssssss]

I love these videos, but I just feel that they're too short :D!

"Over 10 times the size of earth ". That just got me

If you have a welding lens or know how to build a solar viewing box. Take a look at the sun today 4/16/16. Looks like a sun spot but it has moved all over the face in the last few days. I was not aware that sun spots move.
It started in the upper middle and then one day later it was on the lower right. Rite now you can see it in the upper right. What, The, is it. It is vary obvious to the naked eye. As to say with protection. The glare hides it anyways. So do not even try without some kind of protection if you like seeing. But do find a way to look at it.

After watching an episode of Static Shock, I was curious about sunspots

[luciusirving]

This is why Statics Shock's electrical powers went out of control in season 2, because intense magnetism was blasting through the photosphere.

Came here since the sun has acne again.

My book list out that occur of sunspot is the concentration of magnetic field cause the emmision of heat. So, the sunspot happen .

[uldymuldy]

these spots are mountain peaks on the sun and they have poked through the shiny atmosphere. inside, behind the chromosphere, the sun is an ordinary planet.

[IamGhede]

Can we detect magnetic forces emanating from black holes?

[BenHydeSPARKScience]

Magnetism? The surface is the coolest part of the sun and it is well above the Curie temperature, so the only alternative is electricity.

[chaos_omega_zero]

When the sunspot engulf the whole sun, its now a black hole. Lel
