It is the same with contrast. Space photos have to be adjusted to approximately what the human eye is used to seeing, or we could not interpret them in any familiar way. -|Tom|-

well i happen to look up Galileo( i was sure that Galileo discovered Sun spots,modern observation,a generally irregular "dark spot" can last less than a day but up to a month and there are exceptions of living to half a year.
further the "Umbra" the central dark part of a Sunspot(this a quote from the dictionary of Geophysics,Astrophysics and Astronomy,Edited by Richard A.Matzner).
the "penumbra" the lighter region of a Sunspot "surrounding" the "umbra".(quoted from the above dictionary again).
need i say more Tom?

Sun spots are supposed to be windows into the sun according to someone that ponders these kind of topics. So, what is the spot made of? Is it composed of something other than the surface it is floating on?
