Here's What Solar Science Needs

Although sunspots often appear from around the limb of the sun, they have
to appear somewhere. Statistically. you'd expect a fraction of them to
appear on the face of the sun, say in the range of plus or minus 30 degrees
from the centerline.

What we need are high resolution videos of that happening, preferrably for
a number of different cases, so we can closely examine the similarities and
differneces.

Has anybody got that data?

In this you can see small ones fading in and out:

Perhaps you can explain why "solar science" needs what it already has?
