DRAWINGS of SUN SPOTS

Sun spots are formed as a result of electromagnetic energy. Year 2000 is a year of maximum
activity for the sun in an 11 year cycle. The rotation of the sun is 27 days (25 days in the center and 27 days at the poles).

In my telescope, the spots come in from the right and disappear on the left 12 days later. On a small sheet of paper it is difficult to draw the spots proportionally with all the details. The
point of the pencil is bigger than some spots in the telescope.
