You may be able to see dumbbell sunspots on binoculars or small telescopes but be cautious.

Researchers use sunspots to make forecasts about space whether the activity of the sun generates in the territory of Earth. Explosions of charged particles can disrupt satellite transmissions and power lines, making it essential to know when sunspots hubs of magnetic activity that fulfill as a launched pad for such outburst will be appearing around the bend and facing our planet.

"Having up to five days of lead time on the existence of active sunspots is extremely valuable to our tech-heavy civilization" Pevtsov subtracted.

The Sun is in the initial months of its 11-year sunspot cycle and a relatively quiet interval. The powerful signal generated by sunspots yet observed in the cycle added Kiran who is leading the far side prediction at NSO.
