A Sunspot Up Close

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This close-up shows a sunspot, a depression on the Sun's surface that is cooler and darker than the surrounding areas. The Sun's magnetic field creates these regions by preventing hot material from entering the spot. Sunspots can be larger than Earth and typically last for only a few days. The Sun's surface is a bubbling sea of separate cells, visible here.
