HERE COMES TROUBLE? A big sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern limb, and it is crackling with activity. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a surge of extreme ultraviolet radiation from the sunspot's magnetic canopy on March 21st, 2011.
This appears to be the return of old sunspot 1165, last seen in early March when it formed on the sun's southwestern limb. Since then it has been transiting the far side of the sun, apparently growing in size and restlessness. The potential for trouble will become more clear in the hours ahead as the active region emerges in full. Stay Tuned....
Big Sunspot 1165 starting to grow as it approached the Western Limb on March 7, 2011. It was responsible for numerous M-Class flares. Photo captured by SDO.

Is it just me, or is there a new sunspot/solar flare thread almost EVERY day. Honestly people, it's gotten to a point where even if one of these violent solar events does occur, we can't do anything about it! These post are just really pointless, redundant, and not...interesting.

yaa because we have had two x flare misses this year and its only march lol solar cycle 24 is going to be crazy as for we can't do anything about it, speek for yourself.(pointless, redundant, and not...interesting) we will have afews days heads up. And thats all the time i need, if we do get hit by a xflare. All your power and electronics may be pointless and redundant but not mine buddy, i got a A+ in science and can make my own solar, wind, and water power and i know what a Faraday cage is.
