NASA satellites have observed a large sunspot forming on the surface of the Sun. The sunspot is twice as wide as Earth and it is facing away from us, for now. However, as Earth moves around the host star, the sunspot could fire a solar flare right at us.

Astronomy site Space Weather said: “A new sunspot is emerging over the sun’s northeastern limb, and it’s a big one.

“The sunspot’s primary core is twice as wide as Earth, and it is accompanied by two Moon-sized companion spots – dimensions which make it an easy target for amateur solar telescopes.

“In recent days it has hurled multiple CMEs into space.

“Future eruptions could be aimed at Earth as the sunspot turns toward us in the days ahead.”

The result of global warming no doubt; more funds for climate change on the sun before it gets too hot there.
