Reprocessed to enhance the faculae or bright areas near the actual sunspot.
Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. Sunspots usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity. The Sun's magnetic field wells up to the photosphere which is the Sun's visible "surface". The powerful magnetic fields around sunspots produce active regions (AR) on the Sun, which often lead to solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).
