Remarkable Clusters of Sun Spots Observed
The Rev. Mr. Bates reports from the Standard that clear days allow telescope viewing of the sun. He notes seven sunspot groups on the facing hemisphere, including a vast cluster about 60 000 miles across and up to 10 000 miles wide. Cyclonic action is evident, with future visibility eight to ten days and a new eastern rim spot developing into a potentially important feature for Bize.
