I just put my solar filter onto my telescope to take a look - and there's a HUGE sunspot right now.
NOTE: DON'T ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PROPER SOLAR FILTER!!!!!
The attached quick photo was taken hand-held with my phone held at the eyepiece.
Checked on
http://www.spaceweather.com/ and - Yep! It's big alright!
BIG SUNSPOT FACES EARTH:
The rapid growth of sunspot AR2396 is continuing. Yesterday it was huge. Today it is 50% larger.
...
The growing sunspot group stretches more than 150,000 km from end to end. All by itself, the primary dark core is more than three times the size of Earth.
