NASA Space Science Update: Sunspots
Scientists have studied sunspots for the past 400 years.
Now, for the first time, they can peer below the surface at
conditions that reveal the Sun’s dark mysteries. What they’ve
discovered is the subject of a Space Science Update on
Tuesday, Nov. 6, at the James E. Webb Auditorium, NASA
