Galileo was blinded late in life by an eye infection; his extensive observations of sunspots were 20 years earlier. The warning against direct observation has been corrected. Dandrake 02:42, Oct 28, 2003 (UTC)
2003 X28 Flare
I'll go ahead and update the history to include the Nov 4 2003 record-setting X28 flare. Holographic images show there's still amazing activity on the far side of the sun. We'll see in a handful of days what might sweep across the ecliptic when that part of the Sun comes back into view. SEWilco 02:10, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC) co

The politics of the intro
Tsk tsk, Mr. Poor. The lines you added to the Intro support your politico-scientific views; and so far as I know, what they assert is accurate. But does this really belong in the Intro, where we are trying to say succinctly what sunspots are? Dandrake 18:47, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
