Spots of incredible size have been recorded on the Sun. They are visible even without a telescope, according to Sergei Nazarov, a researcher at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO).
They can be observed without telescopes, using anything as a filter, such as smoked glass or X-ray film. You can project the image onto a sheet of paper through binoculars, and if the atmosphere is dense, it will be visible at sunset.
Sunspots are areas on the Sun's surface that are cooler than the rest of the star. These formations change in size throughout their lifetime and arise from the interaction of magnetic fields with solar matter. When the matter cools, it becomes visually similar to a spot.
This indicates that the magnetic fields on the Sun are very strong, and they can cause flares that may affect us. If such a flare occurs, powerful auroras will repeat, like those we observed in May of last year. This could happen at any second.
According to the scientist, auroras usually appear a day or two after powerful solar flares. In this regard, Crimean astrophysicists are now particularly carefully monitoring the activity of our star to better understand its impact on Earth and atmospheric phenomena.
