For scale, Earth and Jupiter are shown at the bottom right of the image, highlighting the massive size of the Sun and its sunspots. Monitoring sunspots in real-time helps scientists track solar activity and improve space weather predictions. Today's Sunspot Activity on the Sun's Outer Layer (SDO - HMI; NOAA/NASA) Current Solar Activity.
The data feeds on this page contain images, videos, graphic visualizations and text-based reports related to the Sun. This includes recent, current and forecast solar conditions. SunCalc shows the movement of the sun and sunlight-phase for a certain day at a certain place.
You can change the suns positions for sunrise, selected time and sunset see. The thin yellow-colored curve shows the trajectory of the sun, the yellow deposit shows the variation of the path of the sun throughout the year.

View sunspot regions, magnetic classifications, area in MSH, flare probabilities, and live solar activity updates. The Sun Right Now! These images were taken recently (See the time stamps below) by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a NASA mission launched in 2010. Each color is representative of the intensity recorded when observing one particular wavelength of ultraviolet light.
For 50 years, NSO has been studying the Sun and taking images of our star nearly continuously, here are the latest images from our network. Distance of the Sun from Earth: Find out how far the Sun is from Earth right now. How Bright is the Sun?: Current visual brightness (magnitude) and apparent size.
Rise and Set Times: Rise and set times of the Sun from your location. Interactive Sky Map: Planetarium-style interactive visualization of the Sun's position in the sky.
