Cool.

This was Astronomy picture of the day a few days ago:

The sun has just started to pick up in activity.  The day after Thanksgiving I was at the Planetarium with my solar telescope.   We watched a sunspot form and merge with another one.

Check out this page:

to see what's happening on the sun.  The aurora can be seen here:
