See it on NASA's siteOur Sun is becoming very active. Just two years ago, it was in a solar minimum, with months passing without a single sunspot. Now, it's nearing activity levels seen a decade ago, well ahead of schedule. This image, taken in hydrogen-alpha light, shows numerous features on its surface, indicating this increased activity.
