  1. A look into the “GREGOR Observations Center” GOC at MPS Göttingen during this month’s remote campaign at the GREGOR Solar Telescope, located on Tenerife. Many great active regions and sunspots, but unfortunately clouds obstructed our view. Hoping for better conditions for our August campaign together with Solar Orbiter 🛰️ 🔭🤞

    A couple of balls that I love to photograph, composited together. (Not to scale, obviously!)

  13. As we wave farewell to our episode on Maria Mitchell & sunspots, here's an image of the crater named after Maria on the moon!

    Stay tuned tomorrow for a new episode on the #astronomy and Cosmic Background of the #constellation Camelopardalis!

  18. That the #sun is a star like the ones we see at night is something that will never stop being astonishing to me.

    Its surface has a texture, the solar granules, which are the result of very strong convective motion. The #sunspots are magnetic anomalies, a bit cooler than their surroundings.

  19. He reprocesado mi imagen del sol de primeros de julio de 2024 y ahora me gusta mas y me he deshecho de la banda horrorosa de alrededor, creo que para mi primera y única vez de fotografía solar y aprender a darle otra vuelta estoy muy contento :)

    Some more astronomy from my hospital room - 4 days of tracking a family of sunspots:

  21. Well, that'll fix #GlobalWarming, eh? 😬

    NOAA confirms a 'full-blown' #GrandSolarMinimum

    "#GSM's have the potential to hold sunspots at ZERO for multiple decades. [Apparently, there are currently ZERO sunspots at the moment]. The most famous example is the #MaunderMinimum (1645-1715) which brought plummeting temperatures, crop loss, famine, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people ACROSS the planet."

  23. I wasn't going to do it. I was sure the sky would be cloudy and the sunspot gone. Today, however, I could see Sun (sort of) so I had to try. Seeing conditions were not poor, they were bad. The atmosphere was stirred up and clouds were present -- at times blocking the view entirely. So, with all of those qualifiers, here is our best effort recording departing sunspot AR4366 -- weakening but reportedly still issuing flares -- and a couple of its companions.

    #sunspots #solarastronomy

  24. Farewell to Active Region 4366 -- the giant sunspot complex seen in Sun's upper right quadrant (northwest). The region continues to issue flares but is showing signs of decay, according to forecasters. Soon the sunspot will disappear over the Solar limb; today was the last day I will observe that feature. While the sky was clear, and winds were light, seeing was not good. We take what we can get! #sunspots

  25. Though seeing was predicted to be "bad", the sky was clear and blue, and transparency was very good. So, with the temperature at 14°F, and the wind ripping around the observatory, we recorded images of the sunspot at AR4366. They turned out well. Good thing, too, since the enormous sunspot complex is moving toward Sun's western horizon and will soon disappear. We may have another opportunity tomorrow! For now, we're pretty happy. #sunspots #AR4366 #solar #astronomy

  30. Today’s view (Feb 5, 9:34am EST) of the enormous sunspot region 4366, compared with my previous shot (2nd photo, taken Feb 2).

    It’s clearly grown since rotating into view — Space.com says it’s now a staggering 15 Earths wide, big enough to see without telescopes or binoculars (though you still need eye protection). And it’s been spitting out powerful M- and X-class flares. Clear skies to all you aurora hunters out there!
