Seeing Double
Astronomers Amazed at Two Huge Sunspots
It was a very cold morning today, there was low fog and mist lying on the canals, the buildings in the disyance were just dark shadows and I could look directly at the sun. For about 20 minutes while I was cycling I stared at 2 spots on the sun, firstly wondering if I was getting old and needing glasses, then realised that these must be sunspots. I havn't seen them before (and to be honest, I didn't think they would be visible with the naked eye)
heres my effort.. if you click to look at the full sized version, you can just make out a couple of spots:
I took some photies (in the gallery now)
But woo yay for cold misty mornings!
