The Sun in H-alpha, Taken by Michael Borman on August 7, 2025 @ Evansville, Indiana, USA
…and Solar Winds on the Way
SPACEWEATHER.COM NEWS: 08/08/2025
ACTIVE SUN: This has been an active week on the sun. Three large sunspots have grown on the solar disk, joining a half-a-dozen others already present. Together, the active regions have produced more than a dozen M-class solar flares and at least one Earth-directed CME (arriving today). A picture is worth 1000 words.
Amateur astronomer Mike Borman of Evansville, Indiana, took the picture yesterday. It shows many sunspots seething with activity on a solar disk criss-crossed by unstable magnetic filaments. The stage is set for more explosions.
