See it on NASA's siteThis false-color image shows HD 12545, an RS CVn star with the largest starspots yet observed. These are cool, dark magnetic depressions, like sunspots but far bigger. Doppler imaging, which uses color changes from the star's rotation, created this view. The vertical bar on the right gives a temperature scale in kelvins.
