| The peaks are the days when gamma radiation was emitted by sunspots in high concentrations. |
| Scientists are still figuring out the role of sunspots in space weather, but they do know that when a flare erupts, sunspots are often nearby. |
| Note the white bands buried amid the black and gray sunspots, depicting the twin bands of the flare as it burst into view around the sunspots. |
| The severe weather on Earth is likely related to sunspots and solar flares on the sun. |
