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).

We’re all gonna DIE!!
‘Face
;o]
Should have gone to EVs quicker. Mother Nature is not happy.
newsweak,ffs
Oooohhh!!!! Keep us updated!!!
Like the old movie “Solar Attack”...
We’re doomed!
Climate change on the sun is real
To put this into perspective, some sunspots in active cycles of the 20th century measured ten times the size of this one. The 1947 cycle holds the record for sunspot size and the 1957-58 cycle holds the record for intensity.
“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.”
Just when you thought fentanyl was bad. The junkies will go bat guano loco over that.

Take your pick, ffs
I just *know* 'ffs' stands for Friendly Freeper Socialite.
“Science” articles and sites are some of the worst for clickbait now.
“I’m not saying it’s monkeypox, but it’s monkeypox.”
The sunspots were tiny but have grown to be small sunspots.
Run for your life!
Will do! It may not be visible if it’s rotated out ov view-we’ll see.
AR3088 seems much more interesting. It’s polarity is rotated 90 degrees from “normal”.
There’s a little black spot on the sun today.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday.
Luke 21:25
There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.
...and also global warming.
So the Sun spot activity has increased...as it does every 11 years. This is the third such story in the last 3 weeks.
We're all gonna die!
