I braved the late morning heat yesterday in order to capture this filtered image of multiple sunspots (left), including the huge sunspot (right) that has just rotated into view on the southeastern limb of the Sun. According to spaceweather.com, this sunspot, designated AR3363, is so large that the Perseverence rover on Mars was able to photograph it!
