When I saw this picture, it instantly caught my eye. I was drawn to this photo because of the reddened rays of the setting sun, and the vibrate colors in the sun. This beautiful sunset flooded the skies over cedar creek lake, southeast of Dallas, Texas. This picture doesn't trust show a sunset we see on a daily basis, but something much more special. A sunspot that is usually unseen by the naked eye, was prominent enough to see on July 6th over the water. This is possible because the center of a solar disk mixed with the dense atmosphere on earth, and the sunspot was reshaped and dimmed. It would be beautiful to see one of these magnificent sunsets. Some questions that came to mind are: Are they common? Can we see these sunsets in other places like new york?
Wow, I didn't know you could see a sunspot with the naked eye from Earth. Fabulous.
