active sun ha lrg, originally uploaded by Mark Townley.

An interesting western hemisphere on the sun today with large active regions 1166 & 1169 heading closer to the limb. A smaller non named active region follows these two which showed three small spots in white light. In the southern hemisphere a couple of large contrasty filaments could be seen. Magnetic field lines can be seen sprawling around the active regions.
