The three photos above are edited differently, the latter being the original. At first photo I worked with the levels, curves and sharp (sharpness) and the on the second I dropped gamma and increased sharp.

         Sunspots are a temporary phenomena on the Sun photosphere that appear as dark spots visible in comparison with the surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection through an effect comparable to current brake, forming areas of reduced temperature. Like a magnet, they were also have the two poles. Although temperatures of about 3000-4500 K (2727-4227 ° C), in contrast with the surrounding material that is about 5780 K, there are clearly visible as dark spots. Sunspots expands and contracts while moving on the Sun and can have a diameter of 80,000 km, making it visible from Earth without a telescope. Sunspots can travel at speeds of several hundred m / s.
