I found three more sun spots, but when I scrolled down, they moved off the sun. They were monitor spots.

"The little black dot in the NW quadrant is a blown pixel, not a sunspot."

You should have posted this at the top of the picture. I spent five minutes trying to clean it off my screen.

And what about the one in the NE corner? Oh, oops. That was on my screen. [TheOldLady blushes, slinks away]

What IS the sun? I mean, WHY is it a ball of gas? How did that come about? Is there a solid center? How can a ball of gas retain a ball shape? How did the sun start?

'Does anyone in the scientific community know the answers to these questions?"

Yes. All of them. They're all part of basic science (physics).
