For a few days, a huge sunspot four times the size of Earth, named AR3310, has been visible to the naked eye.
We see it to the right of the sun as it rises over the horizon. In this case, with the hazy sky and fine clouds, it was possible to photograph without a filter, as can be seen in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
Apart from this spot, there are at least six more that are also very visible, as can be seen in the detailed snapshot of the sun.
A sunspot is a region of the sun that has a lower temperature than its surroundings and with intense magnetic activity.
The sunspot consists of a dark central region, called the “umbra,” surrounded by a lighter “penumbra.”
A single spot can measure up to 12,000 km (almost as large as the diameter of the Earth), but a group of spots can reach 120,000 km in size or more.
And since I have captured the image from the elevated area of ​​Sant Bartomeu del Grau, in Osona, when I took the telephoto lens out of the camera and put the normal lens on to photograph the landscape, I could not miss the Pubilla de la Plana, the fog covering a large part of the region
