The size of Jupiter, the culprit sunspot:

That's NOT the sunspot that sent out the CME. THAT sunspot has done absolutely NOTHING all day, amazingly enough. There's a sunspot BARELY coming into view on the lower left part of the sun that has been launching massive flares all day. NONE of these sent CMEs towards earth. THERE'S NO SOLAR STORM COMING, FOLKS.

I know that's difficult to believe with all of these major media outlets picking up the original AP story from this morning and repeating it, but it's true.

Even spaceweather.com changed its analysis from this morning when it realized its error...look at the site. Changed which sunspot it originated from and now only talks about a "glancing" blow from a CME.

Unfortunately, nobody bothered to alert the mainstream media to the mistake.
