A huge sunspot seven times wider than Earth is currently visible to the naked eye. But skywatchers should remember to protect their eyes when looking at the sun if they intend to glimpse the feature before it vanishes.

The tremendous dark spot on the sun, designated AR3354, will disappear on Sunday (July 2), rotating out of Earth's view. According to SpaceWeather.com, the sunspot just appeared on Monday (July 26), and it has grown a lot since.
