sunspots today??

Are those two sunspots I see on IIS picture of the sun?? I thought it was dirt on my screen, but after I rubbed it, they were still there!
I wonder if they will last to the weekend????

That certainly is a sunspot - AR1040 - but it's moving towards the limb as the sun turns and will be vanishing from view at the weekend. There are some great photos of it in the IIS Images/Solar System forum.
