The big #sunspots once more today, during another #Bochum (Germany) #sunset: see https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mphd34hrsk26 for two earlier and two later timesteps. Whole sequence there covering 3 minutes and 20 seconds ... about the duration of a good total solar eclipse. ;-)

RE: #Bochum #sunset on 25 June, with several #sunspot groups - AR 4478 at 10 o'clock: https://bsky.app/profile/vincentledvina.bsky.social/post/3mp4yl543zs2z

Turns out the #Jupiter apparition is swiftly coming to an end: from #Bochum I couldn't even see it naked-eye anymore this evening, while in this 'blind' photograph it is faintly visible in the lower right just where the haze begins. #Venus is now the only obvious planet in the evening.

Ich habe mir für den Deutschlandfunk die #Wärmeplanung einer Stadt am Beispiel #Bochum angeschaut.

Today's #Bochum, Germany, #sunset, with the #sunspot group (1)4475 prominent on the disk.

Es ist gebucht: #WeltenkreuzerLäuft im September 10 Kilometer durch #Bochum und im März meinen ersten #Halbmarathon - in

Today's #Bochum #sunset with the three #sunspot groups left to right (1)4498, 4496 and 4492: https://spaceweather.com/images2026/29jul26/hmi1898.gif

After missing three #sunsets in #Bochum, here is today's - with THREE #sunspot groups on the disk now: top left to bottom right they are 4492, 4493 (which grew rapidly; see https://nitter.net/Bermani22/status/2079227596554809584) and 4489. Watch the last two disappear in later timesteps in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mr45ljgazc2e (where 4493 is misidentifed - because of https://spaceweather.com/images2026/20jul26/hmi1898.gif - as 4491).

The planet #Venus and the #Moon Thursday evening over #Bochum - the 8% lit Moon was already very evident to the eye.

The sunday #Bochum #sunset, with the big spot (1)4482 still prominent on the disk - one earlier and three later timesteps in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mqi6n52wck2x

During today's #Bochum #sunset the big #sunspot (1)4482 was seen in the lower right while at "10 o'clock" - above the church spire - the new group (1)4489 has just appeared on the disk. Later timestep: https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mqkjezmlp22g

Here we go again ... another #Bochum #sunset today, and the three #sunspot groups (1)4515, 13 and 17 - https://www.facebook.com/groups/seestar/posts/1065357899609825/ - conveniently placed in the clear strip.

Against all odds another pretty clear #sunset in #Bochum Tuesday - and now three #sunspot groups are evident near the disk's center, from the left (1)4515, 13 and 17: https://spaceweather.com/images2026/25aug26/hmi1898.gif

Another great #Bochum sunset, next to the Exzenterhaus, today - see https://scicomm.xyz/@cosmos4u/116671217258452259 for more of these sunspots, https://mastodon.social/@PlanetariumBochum/116671246643401401 for the Sun at / behind the funny building ... and https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=dan.fischer.393&set=a.10234566010626407 for 191 pictures of seven sunsets from 23 April till today!

Third #Bochum #sunset in a row, on 24 August, now perfectly clear - the Sun right *on* the horizon was way too bright to look at - and with obvious #sunspots: according to https://spaceweather.com/images2026/24aug26/hmi1898.gif these are the activity regions (1)4513 and 4517.

The two #sunspot groups 4478 (below) and 4479 right after #sunrise in #Bochum, Germany, minutes ago - two further timesteps in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3mpn3yanylk2e

Another #Bochum (Germany) #sunset today - and numerous times a tiny #GreenSegment separated from the disk: here are two pictures each of two such cases.
