Is there a solar event tonight?

[Bart]

Someone told me there's something happening with the sun today/tonight, can anyone confirm.

No points for saying it's saying it's going to go down!

Thanks

Caught a glimpse of the Sun yesterday and there is one of the best sunspot groups for several years. Fingers crossed for clear sky in the next few days. I think anyone in the West may get a chance today, so I guess Peter that rules you out!

Had a few looks this afternoon, not great viewing, but there were a few sunspots clearly visible.
