Experts have warned that the dark region, which is cooler than the surrounding area, could release energetic explosions capable of knocking out our planet's power grids.
The exact measurements of the sunspot are unknown, but NASA's Perseverance rover snapped images of the spot as it sits more than 152 million miles from the sun.
The rover observed the sunspot on August 17 through August 20 while exploring the Jezero Crater on the Red Planet.

As for the sunspot ...
It will probably puke up some horrible huge CME.
And it will probably be pointed away from us when it does.

This sun spot is caused by anthropogenic climate change, I’m sure.

If it takes out the grid, it’ll fry a lot of ham radio setups.
