Details:
The beautiful "deep freeze" sunset here in Atlanta had more to offer to those with a simple camera lens filter. Massive Sunspot 1944 becomes easily visible when using protective solar film. This demonstrates how the ancient astronomers first sketched sunspots through cirrus clouds at sunset or sunrise. AR11944 has released numerous M class solar flares and even a monster X class in the last few days. Solar forecasters say that it is likely to continue this eruptive behavior.
