Sunspot AR4366 visible without telescopes, use protection
A massive sunspot, known as AR4366, is currently visible from Earth without the need for telescopes or binoculars, although it is crucial to use proper eye protection. Sunspots are cooler, darker areas on the sun's surface caused by intense magnetic activity. These regions are known to produce solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are significant releases of plasma.
