Synoptic Maps
Synoptic maps can be used to visualize the evolution of solar activity from one solar (Carrington) rotation to the other. Image below shows example

How to Spot NASA''s Solar Sail Demonstration Streaking Through
Earlier this year, NASA loaded a microwave-sized device packed with a four-piece, 860-square-foot, ultra-thin solar sail aboard a rocket and launched it on April 23. That same

NASA''s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) can be seen with the naked eye as it orbits Earth, and can be tracked with a
Solar rotation
Solar rotation is the rotation of the Sun about its own axis. The Sun is not a solid body, but is composed of a gaseous plasma, and different latitudes rotate with different periods.
Solar Rotation
Solar rotation refers to the spinning motion of the Sun, which influences the frequencies of solar oscillation modes, causing prograde modes to exhibit higher frequencies

Like a Diamond in the Sky: How to Spot NASA''s Solar Sail Demo
Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, a spacecraft can use the pressure of sunlight on a solar sail for propulsion. This technology demonstration serves as a pathfinder

NASA''s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) can be seen with the naked eye as it orbits Earth, and can be tracked with a helpful app.
Nassau Solar Rotation
How long does it take for the Sun to rotate on its axis? The Sun rotates on its axis once in about 27 days. This rotation was first detected by observing the motion of sunspots.
