... 2004 July 26 . A Large Active Region Crosses the Sun . ... Explanation: An unexpectedly large sunspot region is now crossing the Sun. The active region is home to rivers of hot plasma , explosive flares , strong magnetic fields , a powerful Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), and a sunspot group so large it can be seen by the protected eye without magnification. In fact, this region appears larger than Venus did when it crossed the Sun last month. ... About APOD | ...

... Today this year's largest group of sunspots will cross the Sun's central meridian. ... The next day, the number of spots in the group reached five, and the day after, on June 2nd, it was possible to count thirteen sunspots on solar disk, which had been clear prior to this. ... This year's two most powerful active areas, which passed across the solar disk at the beginning of May, 2009, are set to appear in the Sun's eastern sector in two days, on June 6th. ...
