The Sun’s surface is currently on overdrive as the Earth enters a period of high cosmic activity, with a major new threat discovered in the form of an enormous sunspot visible from the surface of Mars.
While sunspots are not usually a cause for concern, scientists warn that the gargantuan sunspot group AR3576, which measures over 124,274 miles, could trigger powerful solar flares and wreak havoc on the Earth.
Sunspots, which appear as dark holes on the Sun’s surface, are known to be so disruptive they can trigger coronal mass ejections (CMEs) – large plasma and magnetic releases from the Sun.

I am glad that some Freepers can be curious, and look behind the various Oz-like curtains to see what wizards one might find.
It is wise to stay curious and skeptical in a world being flooded with schemes and schemers and scams and scammers and some scum.
The Harvard plagiarists have shown how wildly lucrative it can be to simply steal and repackage and call it your own.

Could, Might, Maybe.
Just because it's the first time it's been seen doesn't mean it's the first time it's happened (if a tree falls in the woods...).

This is awesome. The last time I remember panic over the Sun was the last Solar Minimum when we were all going to die from lack of sunspots.

we no longer can produce Cap’n Crunch cereal and there’s no milk anyways and nobody can find a spoon? But think of all the roofs of mouths that will be saved!

I would rather have to worry about sunspots than man-caused global warming/cooling. We would come together to solve the problem rather than dividing into camps and fighting each other over the proper response. Elites like the division more.

Same story- different source- was posted here recently.
“We have one, if not two #solarstorms headed for Earth today! The first launched near Region 3555. It is expected to hit early to midday January 22. The second is a side-swiping storm launched near 3559. It may give us a glancing blow January 23. Also, an unstable filament is in… “
A little out dated.
