The forces of rotation caused red hot masses of stones to be torn away from the Earth and to be thrown into the ether, and this is the origin of the stars.

Like I wrote on my blog, I really couldn't find a perfect focus.  It's hot now!

John,
it's a really nice shot. Why not try a shot like this once a week to show solar rotation?

You need to concentrate on the Sun's edge more than the "spots". Getting the edge sharp as you can and the "spots" will become clear and sharp. If you magnify this image you can see the outer edge is not sharp. Good luck !
