Very interesting sun spot...

[Mister Obvious]

Oh don't be like that sweetness. There are a lifetime of adventures left out there for you. :P

Thanks, I appreciate it. I know you're right...

That is an Interesting Sun spot. I was thinking. If I was looking at a ball from any angle the center of that ball facing me would be a direct line to the closets point on its circumference. So it would seem that spot is pointing directly at us. :) x

Exactly, it's pointing right at us which is the reason I thought it was even more important to point it out. If it were to blast off a good one, we'd be right in the line of fire. It's kinda messed up, but the idea really does excite me. I've always been a fan of the sun. I've been watching SOHO for like 15 years. There had often been interesting sun spots, but in the last 2-3 years, they have been really few and far between. In my opinion. So it's exciting to see one that looks pretty serious pointing right at us.

I think the sort of 'fan shaped' lines on the bottom left side of those close up pics are the most intriguing aspect of this particular spot. Really makes me think about the composition of the sun and what the heck is really going on there.

And let me just go ahead and throw it out there right now... the sun is clearly hollow. It's like an inside-out black hole.
