"Most Awesome Sunspot Ever," Turns Toward Earth
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9420812 United States 01/06/2014 09:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	"Most Awesome Sunspot Ever," Turns Toward Earth GIANT SUNSPOT TURNS TOWARD EARTH: One of the largest sunspots in years, AR1944, is turning toward Earth. The active region contains dozens of dark cores, the largest of which is big enough to swallow three planet Earths. It's so big, sky watchers are noticing it as a blemish on the solar disk at sunset: "AR1944 has to be the most awesome sunspot ever," says Sergio Castillo of Inglewood, CA. "I cannot stop photographing it." Here is his latest image from Jan. 5th: [link to www.spaceweather.com] Well the sun has been slow for awhile, perhaps some good old solar doom is in order...

Face Palmer User ID: 1149868 Germany 01/06/2014 09:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: "Most Awesome Sunspot Ever," Turns Toward Earth So what? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52493916 If this blows, it could give the US people the rest who are currently affected by the cold "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

Furthermore, it is now lining up and pointing at us, so if it goes off... Well it could become very interesting.

"In March 1989, a powerful solar flare set off a major March 13 power blackout in Canada that left six million people without electricity for nine hours. According to NASA, the flare disrupted electric power transmission from the Hydro Québec generating station and even melted some power transformers in New Jersey. This solar flare was nowhere near the same scale as the Carrington event, NASA scientists said." Here are the worst solar storms in history: [link to www.space.com]
