Sun 16062025. Active regions centrally on the Sun. Shot in white light. Granulation of the Photosphere visible, some penumbra detail in WL. H-Alpha images sun and Active regions. #sun #solar #sunspots #space #sunhour #stormhour #thephotohour #astrophotography #astronomy

Great spread of active regions on the Sun. Left to right AR4115, massive 4114 centrally and 4113. Shot in white light. Granulation of the Photosphere visible, some penumbra detail too, #sun #solar #sunspots #space #sunhour #stormhour #thephotohour #astrophotography #astronomy

Moon 07062025. Mosaic from 39,000 frames. Each panel at 5000mm. Cloud invasion mid capture! 90% illuminated disk. Too much noise with the gain up. #moon #moonhour #space #stormhour #thephotohour #lunar #astrophotography #astronomy

Question is can we get far enough away by then to be able to watch the show...or will it just be seen by our AI robot legions.

Little bit of time on the moon yesterday 06062025. #moon #moonhour #space #lunar #astrophotography #astronomy

I reckon space is BiG and that the huge gaps between things, in space, are even bigger. I think the Milky way and Andromeda will pass through each other quite easily. There will be some collisions here an there but mostly I'll be a damp squib!!

Sunset of the photosphere 29052025 and cloudless. Zoomed in as much as possible but still couldn't make it rise up and then change size, shooting off into the distance like those flat Earthers can. #sun #astrophotography #astronomy #space #flatearth #astronomy

AR4100..or 4079 or 4055? This active group has been round the Sun three times and existed for 54 days so far. As newly named 4100 it is looking more spectacular. #sun #sunhour #sunspots #astrophotography #astronomy #space

People are not poor because some people work hard and make money. Want to tackle poverty best start by eradicating government waste and cosy public contracts.

Sun today 20052025 Ha showing chromosphere. Big hole in the south allowing solar wind to escape. Coronal holes are darker because hot glowing gas normally contained there is absent. It may be on it's way to Earth. #sun #solar #sunspots #astrophotography #astronomy #space

Sun today 10052025. AR4079 still huge but a few days away from disappearing round the limb. All quiet on the Photosphere; still many filaments on Chromosphere. #sun #solar #sunspots #space #astrophotography #astronomy

Did we just kill all plant life?...if we block out the sun we'll need to keep the lights on longer, meaning more energy needed...

Prominence NE Sun. Might have been better if I hadn't gone off to mow the grass and left the capture running on it's own with no guiding. #sun #solar #prominence #astrophotography #astronomy

North East limb of the Sun today. Interesting prominence. Something on the way maybe? #sun #solar #prominences #astrophotography #astrononomy #sunhour #stormhour #thephotohour

Large proms on NE limb could be another Active region. AR4079 is still dramatic and Earth facing. Many filaments. #sun #solar #sunspot #space #sunhour #stormhour #astrophotography #astronomy
