Today, July 5th 2009, members of the Romsey Astronomical Society were able to observe a sunspot on the sun, something that has been quiet rare in recent months what with the Maunder Minimum being in full swing. AR1024 comprises of a large sunspot surrounded by at least six smaller spots that all gather together to form quiet an appealing looking little collection. The photo to the left shows the Sunspots as seen with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).Sunday 5 July 2009
