  1. WAS Founder Phil Harrington found something in the New England sky yesterday - the #Sun! Using his #Lunt 60mm H-Alpha scope in Long Island, you can see the #sunspot group visible to the right of the center. The adjacent regions are called #plages that are associated with concentrations of magnetic fields. The dark, sinuous feature below left of center is a #filament which are huge arcs of plasma in the Sun's atmosphere. They look dark because they are not as hot as the Sun's surface behind them.
