Sunspot Stack
This stack shows a massive sunspot group, AR 9393, in three different wavelengths. From top to bottom, we see it in visible light, extreme ultraviolet, and X-ray. The sunspot, more than ten times the size of Earth, looks different in each view, showing how its appearance changes with wavelength.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
