Sunspot 1078
Posted by JAC on 6/9/2010, 6:48 am





New sunspot 1078 is growing rapidly and crackling with low-level solar flares.

So far the relatively minor "crackles"  have had no effect on Earth.

If the active region continues to grow, however, the flares could become more intense, leading to waves of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere and disturbances in low-frequency radio propagation.

Stay tuned.
