you realize your article is 4 days old and this sunspot is no longer facing us, right?

A giant sunspot is currently facing our planet and has grown exponentially in the last few days. According to astronomers, the sunspot named Active Region 3038, or AR3038 has expanded three times the size of the Earth and may send out solar flares. However, the Space Weather Prediction Center managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA's) has issued no warning about any possible outbursts.

Defining sunspots
According to NASA, sunspots are the areas on the Sun's surface that form at areas where magnetic fields are particularly strong. Besides, they have a relatively darker appearance because they are cooler than other parts of the Sun’s surface, although the temperature around a sunspot is still 3,593°C. The reason why their temperature is lower is that the strong magnetic fields keep some of the heat within the Sun from reaching its surface.

Notably, it is the area around the sunspots that cause the solar flares to emerge. Solar flares are sudden bursts of energy that release a lot of radiation into outer space. NASA says that the solar flares are caused when the magnetic field lines near sunspots tangle, cross, and reorganize. These solar flares are often accompanied by a coronal mass ejection or CME, which basically are huge bubbles of radiation and particles from the Sun. They explode toward outer space at very high speeds when the Sun’s magnetic field lines suddenly reorganize. These are considered hazardous as they have the potential to disrupt our communication systems and cause blackouts.

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process converting magnetic energy into not only plasma energy but also particle energy in various astrophysical phenomena. In this Letter, we show a unique data set of a solar flare where various plasmoids were formed by a continually stretched current sheet. Extreme ultraviolet images captured reconnection inflows, outflows, and particularly the recurring plasma blobs (plasmoids). X-ray images reveal nonthermal emission sources at the lower end of the current sheet, presumably as large plasmoids with a sufficiently amount of energetic electrons trapped in them.

In the radio domain, an upward, slowly drifting pulsation structure, followed by a rare pair of oppositely drifting structures, was observed. These structures are supposed to map the evolution of the primary and the secondary plasmoids formed in the current sheet. Our results on plasmoids at different locations and scales shed important light on the dynamics, plasma heating, particle acceleration, and transport processes in the turbulent current sheet and provide observational evidence for the cascading magnetic reconnection process.

No, it isn't. It has already turned away from us and you are a fucking retard attention whore.

Overview of regions

In an interesting piece of news, scientists have discovered a massive sunspot that is currently facing planet Earth and has grown multifold in size in the past few days. Astronomers have said that the sunspot, named Active Region 3038, or AR3038, is now three times the size of the Earth and might send out solar flares.

Despite this, the Space Weather Prediction Center managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has so far, issued no forewarning about any potential flare-ups.

Your info is 4 fucking days old and the sunspot group has already passed, retard.

article, June 22:

A sunspot that’s larger than Earth has the potential to produce solar flares, but a space science expert said this is normal activity for the sun’s current cycle.

Active Region 3038, known as AR3038, is growing quickly. Experts say it’s doubled in size in the last three days and could blast M-class solar flares, medium-size flares that can cause brief radio blackouts, toward Earth.

As scary as this sounds, Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, said this is not unusual for the sun.

Report: This Oregon city is one of the best-run cities in America
The sun is currently entering Cycle 25. Every 11 years or so, the sun’s magnetic field completely flips, meaning its north and south poles switch places. When a cycle begins, sunspots are usually rare. However, as the cycle advances, sunspots become more frequent and common.

The latest cycle started in 2020 and is expected to peak in 2025. Todd said the sunspots scientists are seeing now are just the beginning.

“We’re kind of on that upward slope. So, if there’s anything to be said, we’re just starting and we’re going to see more and more activity,” he explained.

As if the scorching hot weather wasn't already a cause for concern, a giant sunspot facing Earth has apparently doubled in size.

That's right, in the past 24 hours, Active Region 3038 on the sun has been pretty, well, active.

The news comes as areas around the world are experiencing unprecedented heat, with Iran recording one of the highest-ever temperatures this week.

While the news seems pretty unsettling, there's no need to full-on panic as according to the lead for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Forecast Office, Robert Steenburgh, the sunspot's growth is pretty standard. "This is what sunspots do," he explained. "Over time, generally, they'll grow. They go through stages, and then they decay."

While that's reassuring, some were concerned about solar flares. For anyone not sure of what a solar flare is, Steenburgh explains to USA Today: "I guess the easiest way to put it is that sunspots are regions of magnetic activity.

3038 IS ALREADY ON THE WESTERN LIMB. IT'S GONE ALREADY!!!

thanks for the update!

just for the record, the data above was taken from the website today, not four days ago.

I will revise the thread title, in order to offer some positive response to the comments above. I'm open to refining the formatting for this thread.
