As I photographed the hazy sunset this evening, I was annoyed by a speck of dust on my lens. No amount of effort would remove it, and I eventually concluded that it must be a sunspot. Imagery from www.spaceweather.com confirms that it was sunspot 2158. More excitingly, I realized that I took my photo just minutes after this sunspot had unleashed an X1 class solar flare.
Let's hope I'll have some aurora pictures to post in the coming days!
