A massive sunspot has been spotted on our sun that looks directly at Earth
The sunspot doubled in size over just a 24-hour period
Experts say it could possibly send out medium-class flares in the near future.
A dark sunspot that is facing directly toward Earth doubled in size in just a 24-hour period and could possibly send out medium-class flares in the near future.
Tony Phillips, the author of SpaceWeather.com, wrote on Wednesday: ‘Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it's enormous.’
And it is now said to measure three times the size of Earth.

About a few months ago weren’t we worried about the lack of sunspots?

Earth is moving in orbit and the Sun rotates...let’s hope we get out of the way.
here’s what a “trillion dollar infrastructure” bill would make sense to fund - a hardening of the electrical grid to protect against this sort of thing.

How many times have we heard this warning , many, not say we can’t expect some problems, but probably not as bad as is being written.

A sunspot can’t face the earth for 24 hours. The sun rotates too quickly.
Every agency on Earth has to spread fear porn, doesn’t it?
