Large Sun-Spot Emerging
Posted by JAC on 7/8/2010, 12:47 pm





The northeastern limb of the sun is literally bursting with activity.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare during the early hours of July 8th.

It heralds the approach of a sunspot--possibly a big one--that has been erupting on the far side of the sun for days.
A notable blast on July 5th hurled a bright CME over the limb.

Soon the active region will turn to face Earth and its eruptions could become geo-effective.
