Yesterday there was a sandstorm in my town, the sun was tolerable to the naked eye, I was able to take these photos with my phone. Look at those sunspots!!

      Hi, yesterday I discovered that the photos were taken in Heic format, and the app doesn’t support this format, so I converted them to JPG.

      Yesterday a blizzard arrived; because it is a desert area, the sand obscured the sky and the houses.

      When I went outside, I saw that the sun was a whitish ball that I could look at without hurting my eyes, and I decided to take these photos.

      I’m no expert, in fact, there was a lot of wind, and I didn’t have any stabilization other than my own steady hand haha, I hope you enjoy the photos

      By the way, if anyone’s an astronomy expert, are those really sunspots? I can confirm the camera is fine, just in case they’re spots from the phone’s lens.

    2. The potential sunspots seem to be in a steady position across images. But what is the additional thing in image 2?

      The sun should get those checked by a dermatologist, too much sun i would guess

    4. Forest fires have been bad enough to cause something similar.

      You know it’s bad when you can safety observe the sun through ordinary binoculars

      that`s the first time i see a post in here thats really interesting as fuck

    6. Using a telephoto lens for this is cool, but you placed a lot of faith in that sandstorm to protect your eyes and camera doing that.

      Great photo though.

    7. The danger in looking directly at the sun is due to the UV rays, not necessarily the brightness in the visible spectrum.  Maybe the sand diffused/scattered the UV enough to be safe, but I wouldn’t trust it enough to look.

    8. My dumbass was trying to figure out what you highlighted with the big circle. Oops.
