Sunspots Much HOTTER Than Sun's Surface Contrary to currently-accepted theory, sunspots are actually much HOTTER than the surrounding surface ("photosphere") of the Sun. The dark center ("umbra") of each sunspot is much HOTTER ("ULTRA HIGH TEMPERATURE") than the surrounding "penumbra", which in turn is much HOTTER ("INTERMEDIATE TEMPERATURE") than the remaining surface (photosphere), as evidenced by the very bright boundary line surrounding the penumbra. "...sunspots are produced by the surfacing of the ultra high temperature matter in the solar core in the form of 'thredules' to the photospheric level.", K.V.K. Nehru. These true facts are part of the ONLY "theory of everything" that WORKS, called the "Reciprocal System", developed by the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson. See http://www.rstheory.com .
