The above sketch shows the same the sunspot that I've been following for the past several days. North is up; and preceding is to the left in this mirror-reversed view. This sunspot will soon be transferred to the far side of the Sun via the Sun's relatively slow rate of rotation.

It must have stopped raining in Powder River County and now you can see the sun again. I found this sequence very interesting.
