I was cleaning up for a yard sale and ran across my Transit of Venus viewers from 2004.

What could I do?????

Well, walked out into the back yard and looked at the sun.

And there was a huge sunspot visible naked eye (Well, filtered naked).

It's been cloudy here for a couple days but I'll have time to take look at it when I get home from work today. That's the same group that let loose an X5.4 solar flare around 0H U.T. on March 7th and then an X1.3 an hour later. Good pictures, etc. on spaceweather.com
