sunspot AR3590 60% size of the Great Carrington event. EVENT SOON | |
| drax-o-logic Offer Upgrade  User ID: 82046079  France02/26/2024 11:24 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.spaceweather.com (secure)] BIG SUNSPOT GETS EVEN BIGGER: Giant sunspot AR3590 spent the weekend getting bigger. This two-day movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows its area increasing by a quarter in only 48 hours: AR3590 is now the largest sunspot of Solar Cycle 25. For comparison, it is now 60% as large (by surface area) as the great sunspot that caused the Carrington Event in Sept. 1859. Even a 60%-intensity Carrington Event occuring today could cause problems for satellites, power grids, and internet connectivity. That's why forecasters are carefully watching this sunspot. Last week, AR3590 unleashed three X-flares in rapid succession, including the strongest flare of the current solar cycle (X6.3) . Since then the sunspot has been relatively quiet, producing only a handful of low-level M-class explosions. Is it gathering itself for another X-flare? If so, the flare will be geoeffective as AR3590 is directly facing Earth.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 85177440 United States02/26/2024 12:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's getting bigger, but the striped pattern that causes X flares is diminishing. A sunspot has to have stripes arranged like + - + - in order to make a big x flare. Most sunspots are just + - and don't emit sunspots. The big X6.3 that happened was when the magnetic field on the sunspot AR3590 was arranged in a strong banded + - + - pattern |
