No, its not the Police song link Expand the picture and have a good look at the "sun spots" at the lower left quadrant. Wyatt |

Sunspot number has been ridiculously low for a while now, good to see the little fellas back |

To paraphrase Han Solo, "that ain't no sunspot." Check your space vehicle recognition guide to figure out the identity of the upper "spot". Wyatt |

Looks like a Colonial Viper, the Space Shuttle, or (mostly) the PanAm space clipper. |

I think it's a Silent Death ship. Leland, can you help us out on this one? |
| Mikhail Lerementov | 15 May 2009 8:15 a.m. PST |
Shuttle and Hubble. Cool. |

I think it's just a shadow. |

Good one Ultraork. A shadow on the sun. |

My Mama told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but that's where the fun is. |

But we need real sunspots – otherwise we won't get warmer. |
