Archipelago 4366

On 02/04/2026 10:50 am by Victor Rogus | Website | Sedona, Arizona, USA

Sunspots are buoyant concentrations of magnetism that float on a sea of solar plasma. Archipelago 4366 consists of one big island twice as wide as Earth plus dozens of lesser isles ranging in size from US states to small planets.
AR4366 is currently facing Earth, and it poses a threat for X-class solar flares. Such flares can cause shortwave radio blackouts and, if they hurl a CME in our direction, strong-to-extreme geomagnetic storms.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 60Da camera. 650 FL 12.5 mm eyepiece.
