The sunspot, known as AR3085, has also been shooting off several minor solar flares, though nothing strong enough to be disruptive on Earth.
The sunspot, known as AR3085, has also been shooting off several minor solar flares, though nothing strong enough to be disruptive on Earth.
Sunspots are regions on the sun where magnetic fields are so intense that some heat is prevented from reaching the sun's surface. As such, sunspots may appear as dark patches.
Due to the intense magnetic fields, sunspots are known sources of solar activity. When these magnetic field lines suddenly shift, a vast amount of energy is released in the form of a flash of radiation, known as a solar flare, or a cloud of plasma and magnetic field, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME).
At the moment, it seems unlikely that sunspot AR3085 will lead to any strong space weather activity.
As of August 21 it had given off only C-class solar flares, which are a weak type. Generally, only M-class flares and the strongest X-class flare types are powerful enough to cause radio issues on Earth, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).

It grew to the size of the entire planet Earth.
Perhaps the Sun is opening a portal to drag us into using its tractor beam?
pffft- i have a liver spot that grew twice that size
sunspots are from the sun cooling, no?
then the global warming is over, yes?
It’s supposed to be clear here tomorrow. Maybe I’ll take my scope out, put the solar filter on it and see if it’s visible…
The sun has monkey pox!
An AR 308 shooting
Why of course
I saw it earlier with a welding shield lense. Ive seen bigger.
Sunspot Baby!

Is this gonna be anything like the end of the movie “Knowing”?
If yes, I need to make a liquor store run.
Way back when, in physics class, we were told that a speck from the sun’s core the size of a pinhead would kill you from 100 miles away.
Mr. Sunny has solarpox!
Looks like Poland has finally landef a man on the sun..*POOF*. Maybe they should have done it at night?
