SOLAR SYSTEM

Sprawling sunspot 15 earth diameters wide





Sunspot 464 is wider than fifteen planet earths, which means it's easy to see. Astrophotographer Robert Sandy of Roanoke County, Virginia, took this picture of the sprawling spot on Sept. 27th using a sun-filtered 3 1/2' Questar telescope and an Olympus 4040 digital camera.
