Hi,

Today February 17th 2018 I was able again to get the Sun with a very thin cloud cover

What I found very interesting and it is the first time I see are all those groups of 2 bright spots.

Great. If I understand our Sol that might be tiny changes of the magnetic field in those areas but not strong enough to trigger a Sun Spot ?

Thanks everybody.

Well the earthquake was felt in Mexico City but I am 420km to the north in an area which is more or less a non earthquake area. It does qyuake but not in magnitudes which can be felt by humans.
