Sunspots are areas seen as a dark spot on the [[photosphere]] of the Sun; sunspots are concentrations of [[magnetic field|magnetic flux]], typically occurring in bipolar clusters or groups; they appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding photosphere.
Sunspots can be viewed using special solar observation techniques. Anyone attempting to view a sunspot should be careful to observe safety procedures so as to not accidentally do damage to one's eyes.
