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 3 active sunspot regions visible from Earth, varying in size and magnetic complexity. This includes 1 newly detected regions (4566) in the past 24 hours.
The largest sunspot is AR 4564, classified as Cro, covering 20 millionths of the solar hemisphere (MSH), and containing 5 individual spots.
No significant flares detected today.Data current as of 2 November 2026 at 16:04.

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