Sunspots on the surface of the Sun. This optical image was taken on 26th June 2000, during the period of maximum activity in the solar cycle. Sunspots are cooler, darker areas on the Suns surface thought to be caused by interactions in the Suns magnetic field. They typically last a few weeks. They occur in two bands on either side of the solar equator, with those appearing later in the cycle being nearer the equator. The Sun has an 11-year period of activity, with its peak marked by an increase in sunspot numbers, flares, prominences and coronal mass ejections. At the end of the cycle the Suns magnetic field reverses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of sunspots on the surface of our nearest star, the Sun. Taken on June 26th, 2000, during a period of maximum activity in the solar cycle, this optical image showcases these cooler and darker areas that dot the Sun's fiery disc. Sunspots are believed to be formed due to intricate interactions within the Sun's magnetic field. Lasting for a few weeks before fading away, they appear in two distinct bands flanking the solar equator. Interestingly, as the solar cycle progresses, sunspots tend to emerge closer to the equator. The Sun follows an intriguing 11-year period of activity marked by various phenomena such as increased sunspot numbers, flares, prominences (gaseous eruptions), and coronal mass ejections (explosions releasing charged particles). This particular image was captured at a time when all these elements were at their peak. It is fascinating to note that towards the end of each cycle, like clockwork, there occurs a reversal in the Sun's magnetic field - an event eagerly awaited by astronomers and scientists alike. This extraordinary photograph from Science Photo Library not only serves as a testament to humanity's deep fascination with space but also reminds us of how much we still have yet to uncover about our incredible universe.
