The Far Side of the Sun
This holographic image reveals no substantial sunspot groups on the far side of the Sun. However, a farside spot that appeared near the Sun's equator in images from June 18th could emerge on the Sun's east limb this week. Image credit: SOHO/MDI

Coronal Holes:

A small coronal hole is crossing the middle of the Sun and sending a solar wind stream toward Earth. Modest solar wind gusts will probably buffet our planet's magnetosphere in the days ahead. Image credit: SOHO Extreme UV Telescope.

SUNSPOT WATCH: During the weekend sunspot 9511 developed a twisted delta-class magnetic field that harbored energy for powerful X-class solar flares -- indeed, it unleashed a brief X1-category flare on Saturday. Today the magnetic field above the active region has simplified, but it still bears watching as a possible source of Earth-directed explosions.

NEW! ECLIPSE SOUNDS AND PICTURES: Onlookers cried out in delight in Lusaka, Zambia, Thursday when the Moon covered the Sun and revealed the dazzling corona. Click here to enjoy the sights and sounds of last week's eclipse including wild applause by sky watchers and temperature readings from the path of totality, where the Moon's shadow caused thermometers to plunge 5 degrees!
