Tom Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I find it fascinating how large these sunspots are that the sun is currently spewing towards earth. It gives a perspective how tiny our planet is compared to the rest of the Universe. ONE. BIG. SUNSPOT. The source of the incoming solar storm is huge sunspot AR2673, shown here in a Sept. 5th photo taken by amateur astronomer Philippe Tosi of Nîmes, France:http://www.spaceweather.com/images2017/05sep17/ar2673_strip.jpg How big is AR2673? An image of Earth has been inserted for scale. The largest of AR2673's dark cores are as wide as our entire planet, and they are surrounded by dozens of smaller cores as big as continents. Amateur astronomers with safely-filtered solar telescopes will have no trouble seeing this behemoth. Overarching the complex collection of spots is a tangled magnetic canopy that harbors energy for strong solar flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-flares and a 25% chance of X-flares on Sept. 6th. Stay tuned for more explosions...
