Sun Detail | 12.31.2024

The sunspots you see are dark, cooler regions on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity. They vary significantly in size, typically ranging from about 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) to 50,000 kilometers (31,068 miles) in diameter. To put this into perspective, many sunspots are as large as Earth, which has a diameter of approximately 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles). Some sunspots can grow even larger; for instance, the largest sunspot ever recorded, AR 14886, was nearly the diameter of Jupiter—about 88,846 miles (142,984 kilometers).
Sunspots expand and contract as they move across the Sun’s surface and can last from several days to a few months. Their size and frequency fluctuate in an approximately 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle, with more and larger sunspots appearing during periods of increased solar activity.

It’s important to note that while sunspots appear dark compared to the surrounding solar surface, they are still extremely bright. If isolated from the Sun, a sunspot would shine brighter than the full Moon. © 2025 John Bulmer Photography, John Bulmer Media, and Nor'easter Films

Aruban Suns 1-6
Various Locations, Aruba

Sunrises over the desert-like landscapes of Aruba, 800 miles north of the equator, feature a combination of candle and stovepipe cacti. I never expected to discover unique landscapes reminiscent of the American West on a Caribbean island.

Eclipse Cloud Veil | 04.08.2024

Eclipse Cloud Veil | 04.08.2024
Saratoga, New York 

This is one of the last images from my sequence of around 4,500 shots of April 8th's eclipse. In the Capital District, we caught around 97% coverage before the clouds drifted in. This shot captures a delicate veil of high clouds, glowing in the crescent sun's light. Photography has this amazing ability to distort time, offering unexpected perspectives.

Sunrise in Easton, New York

Sunrise in Easton, New York.

At the beginning and end of the day, the sun’s light must travel through much more atmosphere to reach your eyes. The additional atmosphere, and particulates in it, scatter the longer wavelengths of red, orange, and yellow, sometimes producing dramatic results. While I can’t prove October brings the most intense light shows of the year, here is a strong argument for that.
