Sunspots stretch almost across the entire face of the sun on Monday, Aug. 1, 2011. This is a four-frame mosaic, taken with a Questar Duplex and an Imaging Source firewire monochrome camera. It is a false color rendering and is a combination of four separate images stitched together. The sunspot numbers are, (from left), 1263, 1261, 1260 and 1265. Ernie Mastroianni photo.
