Continuum


FULL SUN IMAGE



This image shows the solar surface from the Michelson Doppler Imager experiment on board the SOHO spacecraft. In the above picture it is possible to make out sunspots and groups of sunspots (black regions), which are typically about 1,000 degrees cooler than their surroundings. These sunspot regiosn are associated with large concentrations of magnetic field and their coronal counterparts, called active regions compare with the other images linked bel ow). The number and size of sunspots are strongly related to the amount of activity on the Sun.
