The sunspot that has been growing in size recently is known as AR3038. Footage from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on Sunday shows how the sunspot has evolved over the past day or so, twisting and contorting.
"Yesterday, sunspot AR3038 was big. Today, it's enormous," reads the SpaceWeather.com website. "The fast-growing sunspot has doubled in size in only 24 hours."
The magnetic field associated with the sunspot means it could potentially send an M-class solar flare at Earth—the second-strongest type. However, it is not known whether this will be the case.
As of Monday morning the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) hadn't issued any solar flare warnings.

I hope it arrives with the sound of trumpets.
This is what knocked Joe Biden off his bike.
AR3038
That’s way bigger than an AR15.
YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good One! Or, for those negative nellies, “We are ALL GOING TO DIE!”
“The magnetic field associated with the sunspot means it could potentially send an M-class solar flare at Earth”
That’s no sun. It’s a space station.
Lol- this is the new official “alarm photo” for fr 😆
If we can just blot out the sun, all would be okay....
Sun spots are supposed to,be what’s respomsoble,for c,image change. Last I heard, they were diminishing in size and number. Hope this doesn’t mean warmer climate. We’ve been quite cold again this spring. Was hoping things would cool off a bit just to shut the climate alarmists up for at least a few years
Quick! Let’s all throw our money at the government to fix it!!
IF they didn’t have near misses to report, they wouldn’t have any misses at all.
Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun! - Montgomery Burns
could the flare be focused on San Francisco?
If its in newsweek it is not worth viewing. In the meanwhile the stupidity and incompetence of the the biden administration has doubled in size....
THIS is the cause of global warming/cooling.
women and minorities hardest hit
Can we focus it on DC?
sunspots mean the sun is cooling... that should help global warming a bit.
thanks joe biden.
