BIG SUNSPOT: Sunspot group 1117 continues to grow, more than doubling in area during the past 48 hours: movie. Each of the primary dark cores in this Oct. 26th snapshot from the Solar Dynamics Observatory is fully as wide as Earth:
The sunspot's magnetic field is crackling with B- and C-class solar flares: 36-hour movie. So far, these impulsive eruptions have not hurled any substantial clouds toward Earth. A big flare would be geoeffective, however, because the sunspot is almost-squarely facing Earth. Stay tuned!

Very poor reporting. The article does not even explain how this is George W. Bush’s fault.

Not worried.
Haven’t heard a trumpet, and I wouldn’t even be worried then.

because the sunspot is almost-squarely facing EarthUm...the sun rotates. If it's squarely facing Earth now, even if it bursts a day from now, by the time it reaches 93 million miles out from the Sun, it will be over 22 million miles away at its closest approach.
