I've got a sucker hold passing over the house at the moment and was able to see what the folks at SpaceWeather are talking about. While not as easy to see at 1 power as the last big spot this one is still impressive (looks kind of like a tear in the photosphere). Patrick Space Weather News for May 10, 2005 http://spaceweather.com DEJA VU? A big spot is growing on the sun--again. Today sunspot 758 is almost as wide as the planet Jupiter; two days ago it was sparse and unimpressive. Like sunspot 756 in late April, this new active region reminds us how quickly big sunspots can materialize--even during solar minimum.
