Apart from looking like something that has a cellular structure, I wouldn't have a clue, <*shrug> LoL!

Since it is the same as the 'spot' in this reference picture, yep - it's a sunspot. So much for my original stab, LoL! I did wonder why I couldn't see any nuclei, but it was a little blurry, so I wasn't sure.

See spot run...run spot run! Spot is my sun :D

A cool note about the image: it's not a satellite image, it was captured by the ground-based Dunn Solar Telescope in, yes, Sunspot, New Mexico. The area in the image is 3 times the size of earth.

Next Image

This is...underwater or above water?

I was gonna guess that the first image was a close up of one of my blackheads......

I think the second pic is an asteroid.

One side of me says it is under because it kind of looks sponge-like...the other side of me says it is above, because it kind of looks like it could be a moonrock and after all....Star is the one who posted it!!!

Otherwise.....dunno!!

It's probably a grain of sand. It would depend on the tide.

Image #2 is a false-color image of Hyperion, one of Saturn's moons. Cassini snagged this image a couple of months ago. Hyperion has a reddish tint to it, but the red was toned down and other hues enhanced in order to make subtle color variations on Hyperion's surface more apparent.

Next Image

Real or photochopped?
