Readers' images: Solar activity

A burst of solar activity was seen crossing the Sun's surface the past weekend, with several sunspots erupting to create the strongest flares this year.

Some of you took the opportunity to observe and image the Sun during this period, and we present a selection of these solar images below.

Remember never to look at the Sun through an unfiltered telescope or with the naked eye, as this can cause irreparable damage. Read our guide to safe solar observing here.
