The new sunspot is 4 times the size of Earth.
The sunspot AR3310 is a massive dark patch on the sun that is about four times the size of Earth, and it is caused by especially strong and intertwined magnetic fields. In the case of sunspots, the magnetic fields are so powerful that they actually keep some of the heat frominside the sun from reaching its outer atmosphere, producing a cool spot that appears dark to an observer.
Astronomers and astrophotographers around the world have been observing AR3310 while it has been visible, leading to some incredible images of the sun and this massive sunspot. NAKED-EYE SUNSPOT: This is sunspot region AR3310. It is rare in that it is large enough to be seen without the aid of a telescope. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN with binoculars or a telescope! Even sunglasses are bad. Get some welder's glass #14 from your local hardware shop. pic.twitter.com/HmVAgCXAtuToday's Sun observation through lots of clouds. 11 Groups with 63 individual sunspots as we say goodbye to old friend AR3310 and wait to see what's coming next.
