Unedited Solar Images from Jan 2012 onwards

[superiorstream]

Hi,All
Thanks Gary for the upload.
The first 3 photos give an idea of a storm at the edge of the sun.Understand that a 3mm dot
represents the size of the earth and see how the 'clouds' of hot gas change shape 10 to 20X
earth size in a short time of 10-15 min.This will indicate the speed involve.
The next 2 photos are that of a rare Cak bright prominence.I suppose it s from an on-going
flare that throws out the hot gas with hot Ca atoms.
Lastly this is even rarer--a sunspot in Cak with 2 penumbra.Never see such before and the outer penumbra never show up in both 540nm and Ha.Strange sunspot.

Hi,All who are interested in the sun
The current cycle --cycle 24--seem to be in the 'downcycle part' now.However,just before that
THE LONGEST LASTING SUNSPOT occurs.It circle the sun 3 rounds before disappearing ;showing itself
as 1944;1967 and 1990.At its largest,its almost 400,000km long and almost 200,000km wide--in white light,and even larger when view with Ha,or Cak.I will submit the photos round by round.Here goes-----
