Hi,Gary
Thanks for the link and yes thats the sun view recently--almost like that yesterday.Can't image
due to poor sky here in spore but manage to see it thr fast holes in the cloud.The 2 hugh active spots
shown in the centre of the photo are clearly 'connected' as judge from the attached filament--and
that 'active region' stretch more than 600,000 km.Marvelous Sun.
