Description

During this quick observing and testing session from a few weeks ago, surface features were quite apparent. An Active Region is concentration magnetic activity that has several types of features within the area. In this region, numerous sunspots (dark spots) are concentrated in three areas. Plages, bright yellow areas near the spots associated with high heating, are also visible. Lastly, Active Region Filaments (ARF), long dark fibrous strands populate the left and central active regions.


PS: This was the last of the older solar images, I only have one more and that is only five days old...
