NO SUNSPOTS, ALL FROTH: There are no sunspots on the sun today, but there is a lot of magnetic froth. Philippe Tosi sends this picture from Nîmes, France:

"I inserted a picture of Earth for scale," says Tosi. "The active region is quite large."

The frothy sea of magnetism in Tosi's photo is called "plage"--French for beach. Bright plage often surrounds large sunspot groups. There was a sunspot at this location a few days ago, but it abruptly decayed after unleashing a C1-class solar flare. Only the froth remains.
