Our Srar

Our Star
Its image is mesmerizing - out of this world - through a solar telescope...
A star full of life, willing to talk to you, sometimes through its carefree fairies (prominences), dancing at the disk limbs or its black halos (sun spots) and serpentine figures (filaments), crawling on its surface making any observer gazing at them in awe...

A fascinating spectacle changing every day without repeating the magic of the previous day...
This is what makes it a unique, worth observing celestial object by amateur and professional astronomers alike....

Sunspot:
An area of the Sun's photosphere, typically 2,500 to 50,000 km across, that appears dark because it is cooler than its surroundings. Sunspots are concentrations of magnetic flux and usually occur in pairs of opposite polarity that move in unison across the face of the Sun as it rotates; these pairs are linked by loops of magnetic field that arch through the Sun's corona.
