Sunspot as big as Jupiter com in' round the bend

I dont recall ever seeing a sunspot that big before.

Very big!!! A few more days will tell us if it has a Beta-Gamma-Delta magnetic field.

The sun has a spotted fever.

Pesky solar flare gal

Dont see it

Very left. Here's another image and you can enlarge it

Omg a basshole confirmation this must be real, my tin foil hat is secured to protect from the beta delta gammas (mmmm)

So this is this the first time we get to see the sun's asshole?

can you smell what sol is cooking up for us?

Black hole sun here we come.....

Watch it fade away as it turns the limb just like all the rest have, either that or it just won't pop off till it crosses the disc and turns the corner!

Maybe it can shit a nice lite brite x class flare for you

Not even. As long it is a normal solar flare with a dense and very fast CME, I will be happy.

That sunspot looks huge. I don't think I've seen one that big before. But, it could just look bigger because of the curve of the sun... I hope.

No. It's pretty damn gigantic and I'm a SunTard.

I've been watching the sun for years now too and yeah - I've never seen a spot of that magnitude.

Yikes.

Well, I guess we'll get a better idea in a day or two.

Ha, made me think of the Simpsons episode the other night.

Wow, thanks OP.

Here is a better, closer-up view:

If you trust this database:

posible killshot??

Geo. Are you turning over a new leaf...? You have been supporting and not bashing lately.

Actually helpful. Nice to see for a change. I might even start to like you...!
