Sunspots Today — Current Active Regions

See the sunspot regions currently visible on the Sun today. These NOAA active regions contain concentrated magnetic fields and may produce solar flares.

The Sun currently displays 5 active sunspot regions visible from Earth, varying in size and magnetic complexity. No new regions detected in the past 24 hours.
The largest sunspot is AR 4501, classified as Cso, covering 40 millionths of the solar hemisphere (MSH), and containing 3 individual spots.
No significant flares detected today.Data current as of 29 June 2026 at 05:01.

Each current region includes its NOAA number, classification, area in MSH, spot count, magnetic class and flare information.
