SOLAR SPOTS

I have some.  One on my forehead and one on my cheek.  Discolorations caused by too much solar.  Also some on my hands, wrists, and both knees.  Plus skin tags.

But that's not the kinds of solar spots this picture illustrates. 

Sun spots that your car visor, mirror, and sunglasses cannot block.  I've even seen some special tinting on windshields just in that area, but it doesn't help. Angles form and a slanted yet seemingly direct hit can obscure your vision if only for a moment. 

But that's not the kinds of this picture's focus.

Solar paneled roofs in AZ are finally going up.  Although from what I understand, it will take 20 years of usage before significant savings can be realized.  We have a few in our neighborhood that my wife and I have spotted on our daily walks.

You guessed it: that's not what this picture is about.

It's about a highly developed lens that captures stuff in space.  Then the info gets fed to scientists who tell us how powerful the sun is, its life expectancy, and how far in light years it is to us and other orbs.

That's what this picture is about.  As you can see, I may not be pretty expert in this field.  But I know for sure that it makes a neat picture.
