AR 3014 on May 20, 2022
AR 3014 has emitted some M-Class flares, but its unstable magnetic field means that, as it grows, the threat of X-Class flares increases. This inverted image shows the complexity of the interplay of a number of seething magnetic fields in this spot. Knots and bridges of plasma swirl in the lines of force, giving an idea of the incredible power of our closest star. I've also included a full disk panorama. All pix taken with a 40mm PST-DS and DS2.3+ camera.
