WARNING WILL ROBINSON: BEHEMOTH SUNSPOT 1158
Posted by JAC on 2/13/2011, 12:43 pm
Sunspot 1158 is growing rapidly and crackling with C-class solar flares.

The active region is now more than 100,000 km wide with at least a dozen Earth-sized dark cores scattered beneath its unstable magnetic canopy.

Earth-directed eruptions are likely in the hours ahead.
