Today, my skies were partly cloudy, but the clouds dissipated in the mid-afternoon – permitting a solar photoshoot. Today’s comparison solar disk images reveal a new crop of prominences along the western and southwestern limbs as well as a new crop of active regions on the eastern side of the disk.
In the first image above, there are at least a dozen filaments strewn across the solar disk. The prominences are highlighted in the cropped image below.
The annotated, cropped image below shows the most recent crop of sunspots on the eastern side of the solar disk.
