Sunspots develop in active solar regions of concentrated magnetic fields. The magnetic flux gives rise to [...]]]></description>

The solar dynamics Observatory (SDO) is now taking images of the innermost solar corona seven days a week 24 hours a day. Normally the solar corona can only be seen by blocking the sun with a [...]]]></description>
