Explanation: An unusually active sunspot region is now crossing the Sun. The region, labelled AR 4366, is much larger than the Earth and has produced several powerful solar flares over the past ten days. In the featured image, the region is marked by large and dark sunspots toward the upper right of the Sun's disk. The image captured the Sun over a hill in Zacatecas, Mexico, 5 days ago. AR 4366 has become a candidate for the most active solar region in this entire 11-year solar cycle. Active solar regions are frequently associated with increased auroral activity on the Earth. Now reaching the edge, AR 4366 will begin facing away from the Earth during the coming week. It is not known, though, if the active region will survive long enough to reappear in about two weeks' time, as the Sun rotates.

The Great Question Mark?
Pretty.
Looks like a solar question mark.
bttt
This sucker wreaked havoc on Amateur Radio HF frequencies. Repeatedly blasted flares reaching X class a few times last week. Angry sun. Solar cycle 25 is a good one.
We should land on one of sunspots as it is cooler then the rest of the sun.
Or just land on the sun at night.
