Several Sunspots, May 3, 2013

There are quite a number of sunspots on the Sun today. Active Region (AR) 1734 is the area with the two large sunspots at the lower left, AR 1732 consists of the two smaller spots a little below the center of the Sun, and AR 1731 is the fainter collection of sunspots at the upper right.
