Today's #sunset in Bochum, Germany, with the spot groups - https://spaceweather.com/images2026/28jun26/hmi1898.gif - 4478 and 4479 (and a swift) pretty prominent: see https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mpertcqcyk24 for four other time steps! Had thought the Sun was lost for good behind a cloud bank, but then it had reappeared just above the horizon - in a fiery deep red color impossible to capture on camera.

The #sunspot-littered #Sun at 14:42 UTC today, taken with a #BridgeCamera at high (slightly digital) zoom through old aluminized-mylar eclipse glasses: four of the 6 current groups - https://spaceweather.com/images2026/29jun26/hmi1898.gif - are easily seen, big 4478 and 4479 well resolved into umbra and penumbra and small 4480 and 4475.
