Image of sun shows two areas of sunspots, one arriving and one leavingGreenbelt, Md. (UPI) Nov 15, 2013 NASA has released an image of the sun showing two sunspots - one "coming" and one "going" - both the size of Jupiter, astronomers say. One, dubbed active region 1890, produced considerable solar activity in the past weeks including several mid-sized and significant flares, but has almost rotated off completely and will soon be out of sight from Earth, they said. The newer active region, 1897, came into view Monday and is now making its way across the Earth-side of the sun, NASA reporte ... read more |
