Following Sunspots

We have received a message from the ESA/NASA space mission Solar Orbiter:

 

Solar storm to Earth detected! Take cover!"

In addition, the Solar Observatory HELIOS in the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), that was observing the Sun at the time, detected spots on the surface of the Sun close to the place where the SOHO satellite detected the coronal mass ejection.

We need your help to protect Humanity. Can we count on you?

 

In this scientific challenge, we will follow the trail of sunspots, in order to answer the following questions: Do sunspots move? Does the sun spin around itself? And if so, is it done in the way on its entire surface?
