“A Large Active Region Crosses the Sun” is copyrighted by Jack Newton. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAn exceptionally large sunspot region, AR 10652, is crossing the Sun. This active region is a hub of hot plasma, flares, and strong magnetic fields. It even produced a powerful Coronal Mass Ejection. The sunspot group is so big it can be seen without magnification with proper eye protection. This close-up was taken just four days ago, showing its impressive scale.
