Download this website...It accesses ALL telescopes...you can view them individually or in composite images, also you can "travel" throughout the Galaxy and manipulate planets in our solar system in 3D. You can watch virtual tours or create your own.

This is the COOLEST website I have ever visited...well worth the download.....it's gives you access to MILLIONS of space images...you can zoom in and out of images and they come complete with galactic coordinates...... WorldWide Telescope ENJOY!!!! Here is a short preview of some of its' capabilities..... http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/Ex...erienceIt.aspx . and does not require the full download.

It's a sunspot. From the gauge, it looks like it could be nearly 10,000 miles across. You could fit a planet inside of it.
