Death Star

Advanced alien technology would likely be able to make a star such as our sun fire off an enormous blast at will... via an artificially-created 'sunspot on steroids' firing off a CME 1,000's of times more potent than anything we've seen firsthand.

Funny I just had a thought about the same thing.. well that and that so called planet x was actually inside the sun using it as badass dysonsphere. No one ever thinks to look INSIDE the sun. wooooooooooooo

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

Re: Sunspot as big as Jupiter com in' round the bend
Ok, first off thank you (I rated this as a 5 star thread)


WOW.

I have personally watched this solar max every day now everyday for roughly the last 1.5 to 2 years...

TO ANYONE NEW TO THE RESEARCHING OF SUN SPOTS / SOLAR ACIVITY...

THIS IS THE BIGGEST SUNSPOT I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN ON THE SOLAR DISK IN THE LAST 500 DAYS. PERIOD...

I am astonished that space weather and solarham aren't warning of this behemoth region...!

Wow...

Great find op!

One side of me is hoping for an earth directed cme to analyse the effects that the sun produces on earth. (does it really cause eq activity, will it put us back to the stoneage ect).

But the other side of me is saying... THIS specific sunspot is certainly not the one I wanted to collect data from...

I TRULY FEAR 'ANY' X-CLASS CME'S that may stem from this sunspot...

YES I SAID FEAR!!!


5 star op... 5 star!

The Sunspot Number Explained

Sunspot number today is: 196
(on the left) [link to spaceweather.com]
when this area of the sun was earth facing last, 27 days ago on Dec 12, 2012, the sunspot number was 55

that is an increase of 141 within one solar rotation

That's a good sized spot. Activity on the Sun sure has picked up.

Re: Sunspot as big as Jupiter com in' round the bend
Ive got 5 bucks that says it fizzles out, just like all the spots that come around to earth facing.

I would really like to know why? Ive read we need small flares to keep everything working correctly, we have not had any significant flares for how long now?

Also, that sunspot doesn't look as big as Jupiter. Several earths for sure, but it looks about half the diameter of Jupiter, assuming it's circular.

Look at 9:00. Earth facing in 1-2 days.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9005159


This is the same sunspot that was in the center of the Suns disk on december 22. It is obviously growing.

With all of the Sunspots peppering the Suns surface it is obvious *something* is collapsing their complex magnetic fields preventing energetic eruptions as they rotate into geo effective position but don't count on that to last!
