The largest of the dark areas could fit three Earths. Further, giant sunspot AR1944 has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for potent Earth-directed eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of M-class flares and a 30% chance of X-flareson Jan. 6th.
I say, let the spot flare! There has been mighty few sunspots of any kind lately, so it's time for some solar energy. We could use the heat here on Earth.
So the long cherished myth of global warming could become a reality…?
ReplyDeleteYep, we need flares to recharge the magnetosphere. It's shrinking..
