Description

A big sunspot cluster is clearly visible near the center of the disk.
I am not an expert on solar imaging or observation and so it took me a few days that cluster is called "AR3664" and it is the object of much talk this days, it apparently being as big (15 times Earth) as the Carrington Sunspot of 1859, that caused the Carrington Event.
