Extract

The physical activity going on in the Sun is still increasing, and worthy of all admiration. There was a very large spot had come round on the North-following limb on March 29; and was after that the subject of observation from day to day as it approached the central Solar meridian. But when it arrived there, on April 3, behold two less large but still most notable spots had burst out clear and full within the previous twenty-four hours between the great spot and the preceding limb. And on this day, April 4, there are two more notable ones very close to the greatest spot, making in all five remarkable spots not only all visible at once, but working and seething positively before our eyes.
