 SUNSPOT SUNSET:Last night, Tamas Ladanyi watched the sun set behind a Franciscan Church in Veszprem, Hungary. To his surprise, he noticed sunspot 1035 staring back at him. "It was a spectacular sunset with sunspot 1035 [visible as two dark patches on the dimmed solar disk]," says Ladanyi. Saturday night could begin with another "sunspot sunset." Sunday night, however, will not. Sunspot 1035 is approaching the sun's western horizon and will likely vanish when the weekend is done. Stay tuned for parting shots. Note: Only über-experienced astrophotographers like Ladanyi should consider taking pictures of the sun with unfiltered optics. Even when the sun is hanging low, focused sunlight can damage both eyes and cameras. Posted: 10:27:15 AM
