That is a very nice image. However, I believe that is sunspot group AR-652, not AR-662.

Thanks for posting that link, Tom. I had seen a blurb on the news before about that. The funny thing is it is this type of favoritism during Vietnam that Colin Powell has been very outspoken against. Here is a quote from his autobiography, "My American Journey":

"I particularly condemn the way our political leaders supplied the manpower for that war [The Vietnam War]. The policies determining who would be drafted and who would be deferred, who would serve and who would escape, who would die and who would live, were an anti-democratic disgrace.... I am angry that so many sons of the powerful and well-placed ... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units. Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to our country."

Just some food for thought during all this talk about Vietnam war records....
