I just made a photo of our closest star. We're nearing the maximum of the sun's 11yr solar cycle & right now the sun is really active! Sunspot 3780 (large spot lower center on the solar disk) is abnormally big. You could squeeze 3 Earths inside of it! There's a couple of pretty big solar storms headed our way. Should be good aurora displays Aug 12 from 03:00 - 06:00 UTC (8-11pm PDT) along the northern tier of the United States. @ambivalena
