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!

I knew it was a bad idea to put solar panels on the White Hut.

If I am reading this right, it looks like the energy wave from the sun will brush past earth around Halloween or Nov 1. This would be in the first picture on the left, posted of the three.

Sunspots? I have some of those.Curiously, I have asteroids. We should stop before we get to Black Holes.

Though you may find some of his papers cited on some strange-looking website, he’s actually a real plasma physicist at Los Alamos. There are two or three other long papers on this out there by him. They’ve been busy this summer in field work in various places here in North America and other locations overseas.

Spaceweather tends to exhaggerate solar storms and activity wheras Solarcycle24 tends to be more calming. Solar activity remains very low.
