In addition to the DST, Sunspot Solar Observatory hosts four other telescopes. The John W. Evans Solar Facility (originally built 1952) hosted instruments for the High Altitude Observatory and the Air Force Research Lab and until 2009 obtained daily observations of million degree coronal emission that were used to predict the onset of the ...
The Dunn Solar Telescope, also known as the Richard B. Dunn Solar Telescope, [1] is a unique vertical-axis solar telescope that specializes in high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy. It is located at Sacramento Peak in Sunspot, New Mexico .
Sunspot is an unincorporated community in the Sacramento Mountains in the Lincoln National Forest in Otero County, New Mexico, United States, [1] [2] about 18 miles (29 km) south of Cloudcroft. Its elevation is 9,186 feet (2,800 m). The Sunspot Solar Observatory and Apache Point Observatory are located in Sunspot in the Sacramento Mountains. [3]

John Wainwright Evans (May 14, 1909 – October 31, 1999) was an American solar astronomer born in New York City. [1] He spent much of his career studying the sun and working with optics both of which earned him awards.
The flare that erupted from this sunspot was classified as an X3.1-class solar storm. [56] Independent scientists of the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) predicted in 2011 that Cycle 25 would be greatly reduced or might not happen at all. [57]
In solar physics and observation, an active region is a temporary feature in the Sun's atmosphere characterized by a strong and complex magnetic field.They are often associated with sunspots and are commonly the source of violent eruptions such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares. [1]
