The Sun today (2024-11-09)

Below you can see an image of the Sun in Hydrogen-Alpha taken on November 09, 2024 between 02:37 and 02:42 pm EDT.

I used a software called LuSol3D to add accurate image scales to compare the Sun and its features with the Earth. 

I also used a software named Autostitch that works great when I need to create a solar mosaic with multiple images of the Sun.

Notes: There were some beautiful solar prominences and filaments, plus some huge sunspots! As usual, I’ve included a labeled image that provides a scale comparison.
