perihelion sun

On 01/04/2025 10:12 am by Patricio Leon | Santiago, Chile

the sun today is 32.5 arcmin diameter and travels close to the handle of the Sagittarius teapot in the sky. Northern AR3947 produced another X flare ( three in little more than 24 hrs !) and has grown a two-Earths sized leading dark core
