Giant Sunspot Has Doubled in Size in 24 Hours and It's Pointed at Earth
newsweek ^ | 6/20/22 AT 8:55 AM EDT | Ed Browne

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.

Unfortunately, it is too late to pass a tax increase to deal with today’s sunspot.

As well, this sunspot disproportionately targets traditionally marginalized communities like blacks and LGBTQ

Knowledge of sunspots and their effects should be common knowledge. Obama removed the information from the federal government radio and communications website.

Solor radiation and radio waves are part of a scientific relationship. Solar flares facing the earth result in increased heat, and affect communications by interference with radio waves. Cellular is radio.

Will Dr. Fauci try and vaccinate us against the solar flare?

since the sun rotates about once every 27-31 days depending on latitude I doubt that it’s still pointing at us. If it ever did.

We’ll be safe if it flares off at night.

https://www.solarham.net/ is the best place on the web for information on solar weather.Here's what they have to say...

Good afternoon. AR 3038 has doubled in size since yesterday as it moves into a direct Earth facing position. So far the region has only managed minor C-Class solar flares. This region will be monitored for further development and could be an increased threat for a moderate M-Flare.

I hope it arrives with the sound of trumpets.

I'm more partial to arriving to the sound of The Ride of the Valkries. It sure looked good in Apocalypse Now anyway.

Looked it up. Solar Storm of 1859, Sept 1 and 2. Pretty intense
