This week's Active Sun

Although we are definitely at a solar minimum, that does not mean nothing is happening!

The sequence of images below, taken by the NASA/ESA SOHO Observatory, shows a small sun spot system moving over the last week, as the Sun itself rotates.

With a lot of imagination, you can half-believe that it looks a bit like a Christmas tree, too!

Merry Christmas everyone!
