PHThe Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Thursday shared photos of three large sunspot groups taken earlier this morning.
Sunspots are areas on the Sun’s surface that are relatively cooler and appear dark than their surroundings.
“These patches are roughly the size of Earth, or about 20-40 times larger than a typical spot,”
“The Sun is entering the Solar Maximum phase of its current solar cycle, where there will be an expected increase in solar activity (e.g., frequent solar flares, increased number of sunspots, and the like),” it added.
Pagasa advised the public to not look at the Sun directly without a special filter to protect their eyes.
