Could be big trouble if a coronal hole opens up next to one of these.

Potential to be same setup just before the 3/11 Japan quake.







July 29, 2011 - CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot 1260 has developed a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for powerful X-class solar flares.

Such an eruption today would be Earth-directed as the sunspot turns to face our planet.

Sunspot 1260 is leading a parade of big sunspots across the solar disk-one of the finest displays of solar activity in years.

Even the smallest dark cores in these sunspot groups are as wide as planets, and they are crackling with C-class flares.

Readers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments. -Space Weather
