The diameters of the circles that make up the solar images in Dean's photo are about 1/100 the distance to the openings in the leaves that cast the spots. That means 100 circles placed end to end would extend from each spot to the opening that casts the spot. How does this tell you how many Suns would fit between the tree and the Sun's 150,000,000-kilometer distance from Earth?
