As I was reading about weak signal propagation relative to solar cycles, I came across a close up of the 22 June 2004 sunspot group:
The grey areas around the sunspots seem to give the spots depth and a strange similarity to when bubbles have broken through your breakfast cream of wheat. Bubbles or crater-like formations on a spherical plasma body? What are the black regions made of? Is it shadow or the revealing depth of the shallow surface layer? Have 90-degree perspectives of sunspots relative to the surface of the Sun been conceived? If the black portions of sunspots were actual breaks in the surface layer of the Sun and what seems just below this layer is, apparently, not the same as the overall surface construct, is the Sun actually hallow and the surface finite in depth (very thin compared to its volume?) What would the interior be made of? Dark matter? What mathematical formulation could support such an armchair theory ?
