Sunspots and active Sun

On 12/27/2024 12:00 pm by Eliot Herman| Tucson AZ

The northern hemisphere of the Sun woke up with active Sunspots in parallel to the continuing activity of the southern hemisphere. Sunspots AR 3938 and 3936 in the north showed activity, and while I was hoping for a good flare to capture it didn't happen. The complexity of the Sunspots is remarkable.
