The sun has some nice activity today, see attached.
Nice prominences,  a huge prominence on the surface facing us, 1/3  across
the surface, shows up as a dark line like region lower left.
Can see intense magnetic field activity around the 2 huge sunspot groups,
zoom in to see better detail. The one one eastern side (lower left) is the
same region that caused the aurora, survived a full rotation and still
going strong
