This has a real "looking back through the eons" feel, Birna.

Hi Arturo,
maybe you may check the brightness setting of your display? It seems that the histogram of many of your photos is mainly on the left side. No offense meant.

I've been taking a lot of sunset photos lately. That one of the lemon was taken with almost no light, but I'll try to check the histogram. Thank you very much.

Yet another  impressive image!  The active region right above the AR4079 looks larger and stronger.  It's a little bit of relief that it doesn't seem to face directly the earth.   

Edit 2, May 27: The AR4079 monster at the upper left has now been officially renamed to AR4100, a nice round number, https://www.spaceweather.com/images2025/27may25/hmi1898.gif  (I missed that the second digit also can be incremented). I have seen a comment on Cloudy Nights that it is now doing its 3rd round across the sun.

Well "brace for impact", a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) from AR4100 happened yesterday and is on its way directly towards us, its effects (Kp7) predicted to hit May 1-2:

So if you still have dark skies, take a look with your camera outside in the coming nights, attached the NOAA prediction map (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/aurora-dashboard-experimental  ) for the US.
